What's this shock after seven years QC there can we go ears independently, Josie me crazy, so he surrounding do it. Rough China, like a good husband chuck. Yes, we have, of an announcement here, yeah you from what we deferred. Yes, we are in the room with either a hat field. Irma coin Jerry doesn't know which family she related to see. Just knows issues related to one of the like

they right before we press record she's like oh, by the way, I'm related to one of these families, I'm just not sure which right and a family member told her, but she cousin Tyler thy. Who was, I think, that's what she said. The cousin. I get the impression from Jerry Story, though, that she sort of like glazed over and that's why she does it now, but she just curious sick, shooter, honour, hip, that explains that this is Mccoy on the barrel. First, maybe, but does it mean that it's a bullet from them of course or for them occurs? They remain dinner at point, so we are talking. Bout, the half fields in the Mccoy for those of you who don't live in the United States, you probably have heard of the Hatfield them- requires the pretty legendary feud yeah right. We ve heard of some of your history, UK, church, Australia, Matthew, Flanders, there's a name job for you

So hopefully further the half dozen Mccoy CMU knows. If nothing else. There was a big many series a few years ago on television yeah with Kevin Costner Acting and apparently it was a really dramatized. Yeah, listen fictional. I see Azure Cinema ties in little quite fully accurate, but everybody at least they brought attention to the few cases need agreed, so they have killed them This is a family feud, so much so that in eighteen, seventy nine, the hat Animal clothes were on the tv show family feuds patiently for a full weak from where I saw an end. I read it The legend has it that you didn't actually inspired the tv show, but at adding get good verification on that. Knowing that there have been other family feuds right

but none are, as famous as they have yielded the Mccoy, although at the time there were more famous family feuds, but the half dozen Mccoy just slipped took it to another level: yeah dissolve murder yeah then there was a lot of murder. Is mountain folk versus Mountain Boca families that been inner married and worked for one another. They had lived together for decades, if not longer. Alongside in this little air, along the Sandy River. I believe the big Sandy River in of something that's called the tug the valley and on one side, mostly, the Hatfield lived on the West Virginia side in Logan, county and right across the river. On the other side in Kentucky the Mccoy lived in Pike County and that's how I was

fair days gone by Maria and there they were not new to the United States. So I guess it wasn't. The United States, then, was it yeah, ok, sure let the eighteen fifty seven days. I was way off but they came to America. Many many years before that fairly the hat fields were some of the very first to come to the new. Old from Northern England, and the Mccoy are obviously from Germany, while the Hatfield represent a HE fields in England. That sounds way more british yeah, but you know how you do it. You come over to America. Need you dumb it down little. I not Heath. Ledger changes into hat ledger: Gosh, you heard me our ip and employs come from Scotland. Of course, you could buy figure that out moved Ireland before they came to the new world and the first known Mccoy John Mccoy in America when was that

seventeen thirty two from Belfast, Ireland, so did they move directly to the tug river area? where they settled now. The Mccoy first settled in Maryland He was a permanent landowner and I think the hat fields first move to Tag Valley in eighteen, twenty and Mccoy is in eighteen, oh two, ok with their twelve kids, so they ve been like really. These families had grown up living and in working each other was yet not just these two families in the area. There are plenty of other families, but like they were neighbors Coworkers Boston employ their did. They were husbands and wives, the inner married- you know- I mean I say words- they were living together for decades. Yes,

I think the two that originally settled it took four, where the actual parents of the two main protagonists, threat or antagonists. I guess they were both yeah approaching and an the the story, our story, really kind of begins round about the civil war. In this area, the TUG River Valley was mostly confederate and both the Hatfield Dan Mccoy were confederate sympathisers, if not outright confederate soldiers, the antagonistic protagonist, the patriarch of the Hatfield family. When the story begins, his name was

A Lance Hatfield right here that was as nickname is. Real name was William Anderson, Hatfield, habit, devil ants. What a cool man yet and I saw a couple, a different explanations for, whereas nickname came from my family homes that his mother said, he was so mean the devil himself, a scared of him. The I saw one that said he was six feet of devil in a hundred and eighty pounds of hell. They had stupid sayings back there that didn't quite at up, especially in the backwards of Kentucky in West Virginia, and I think you said stuff they just made up names as as will see throughout this whole episode, but devil ants himself was a year. He was from what I thought he was described as somebody who took life by the horn drink. He was very much a self made and he got, he became a pretty wealthy timber merchant over the years, but he was em, there's a violent man and he was a boy

some violent tendencies for sure yeah. And if you want to trace back the reason for the Hatfield Mccoy feud There isn't, I think, from everything I rather isn't like one single thing, it's often blamed on the pig deal which will hear about coming up. That seems to be the one that historians point to the most these days, the yeah, but it's sort of a convenient way of telling the story is like what what better way to kick off a few than like with the stolen pig right it. Definitely, there were problems are issues between these families before that right, yeah. But the point is there: a lot of different things going on in one of them was, like you said, was devil ants made a lot more money. Then Mccoy as a timber guy on the other side of the river in the Kentucky side, Pike County Kentucky, there were the Mccoy and at the time the devil Lance was the patriarch of the Hatfield plan, a man named Randal Mccoy all Randal was

head of the Mccoy Clan Cross, the river in Kentucky right. Yet I just get the sense that he had his sort of smaller business and was always a little bit envious of larger timber business. I very much serve yet. He was some of the way that I saw him describers if devils It is a man who took life by the horns. All ran. All was somebody who got hooked by lies horns and he was very bitter about his lot in life gotcha, his father I saw was described as didn't much care for work. But it might be. I didn't, leave his kids anything yeah so his son had to be a self made man, but he was a self made man who never He made himself he married

A woman named Sarah answer. His father died and left them some land and he was able to homestead on that. So that's how he was able to establish himself was through his wife's inheritance of her fathers LAN by it was enough to set him up. They were fine, they weren't prosperous, but they weren't like just completely poverty stricken, like Randal, had grown out right by just across the river and in this other family that he had to deal with in work with in this kind of sea and interact with was a man who he had made himself in indefinitely. Randal was bitter about that idea in the comparison between himself and devils. Yet I think I'm, some of them, of course, even worked for some of the hat fields, which is always gonna, be a little tense when you feel like, maybe that feeling of superior

already comes over one family because you're workin for me right yet so, there's stuff. I, like your say, intention right in you, can point to maybe these guys coming into their own as the head of the family, when the tension really started yet for many years historians pointing to a specific incident as the source of the family feud, but that, since been a ban and so like we said, the civil war is about the time when this story really starts in earnest and most of the TUG River Valley was confederate Devil. Lance impossibly ran on Mccoy were part of what we called the Logan Wildcats, which was a militia during the civil war? They were in, sure, like Army units of the Confederate Army, DNS, all we're devil. Ants was even the leader in one place, but that didn't get that verified a bunch either. So so he very least was in the brigade right

I get the impression that if he wasn't a leader he was a de facto leader, because I was just this type of personality. Lance! Don't answer that nobody right you answered him. Thrice does a great devil, so I think the leader, the Logan Wildcats, is another character who come up later in his name is Jim Vance yeah, so Jim Vance? He was not a very great guy from what I can understand, but I'll. Let him peanuts picture ok I'll come in, then he will in a little bit. Instead we're going to focus on again Asia, Harmon Mccoy, and this guy don't have a bead on. He decided in invest complete contrast of the place where he grew up. He was going to join the Yankee Union Army mainly led ready, broke his leg in, and the left

the service after I think a year, you're back while he was in service. His arm commanding officer in the Union Army ordered him to fight devil ants because there was that he was a confederate spy. Oh yeah, so Harmon fights, double ants loses the fight and adding get a sense of what kind it was it was like it's weird again battle or whether he literally dislike spit on his boot. Unlike took a swing I'm not sure if that was even in the many serious. So fight he loses and then the the union troops went after devil ants at that point, which is really what caused the lot of the early issues, and then later on harmony. A friend of double ants while stealing his horse. So in turn he killed Herman's commanding officer in the union army. Ok, there's a lot of bad blood. The guy was like literally general bill. France was paying off his poor

like I do and have a bad shot him in cold blood. I have that does not happen. You really hopes were to be that way. The girl gives you pause in a year, the who, after the war after Asia, Harmon Mccoy came back home. I did not realise pensions rarity that I have the impression that it was just because he fought for the union. I didn't know he had been made directly target Devil, Latvia, Well, the violence in the Logan Wildcats basically sent a message saying: watch self is we're coming for you and he very wisely went off and lived in a cave for a while. He it out, and so with this guy, you like. Why did he go far for the union was in abolitionists? Now? He had a slave and the slave kept him alive by bringing in food and stuff volume The kids are. I have no idea why he went and fought for the union's. It's weird. The fact that he did, though, method

zone relatives Zone Mccoy is including Randall S. Brother really were words. Kind of like gather Logan Wildcats her out to get you and you brought the sign yourself. So we don't really feel for you and they didn't apparently make much of a problem much. They didn't take issue with it. When the loading wildcats tracked him, no, the cave and kill him while he was actually coming home when they killed. Him, though, was, I think he finally thought like. Surely, after all this time, they ve forgotten about this problem might die chocolate. I hear so he was walking home disease family. We had seen in years and Jim Vance shot him. That's how long using the cave that might have been part of the war in Gaza, but he said after a few years, man alive, Sir well, actually mean

that is a Harmon Mccoy is killed by the Logan Wild cats and apparently at first everybody thought of his devil answer. Did it, but he turned out to have been bedridden at the time, said, an alibi, and they think instead, that it was Jim Vance who led and probably killed Asia ruling is levels uncle, ok and strong ally. Church advance was so Asia harm. Instead, the first shot has been fired. The family feud so thought the historians for years and then again, after interviewing actual Hatfield Mccoy. Is they realise that now? Actually them of course, would like he brought it? I'm self yeah, that's that we made peace with this and no charges were even brought in the murder of Asia- Mccoy, yes I'll one article that described it as a murder agreement which at least to have that like

blood and blood out than everyone's like I even Stephen, ok, so die yeah. They the first death as occurred in the half Mccoy feud, but it has nothing to do with the half your Mccoy feud. Technically, yes, that's easy! a good time to take a break Don T agreed, Sir, New year's resolutions are very, very difficult to keep more exercise save more money. What about this? We have a resolution that you can really work with stop wasting time going to the post office that right you stamps dot com instead because they bring all the services of the. U S.

Why, as K that stance, I come promo code s. Why, as K stamps that com we'll go to the post office again the Czech we're back,

that is a harm instead things or whatever, between the half of them. Of course, nothing nothing. Big is gone on, even if there were any sort of skirmishes or little Pfizer run into that kind of thing. I get the impression that the family, when they saw each other. There is like gave a slight percentage that, besides we're going to get in at least two fistfight yeah do not take part shot, the other with their guns. I just think they'd, probably just didn't like each other very much from the beginning right, so that's possible. Those things went on nothing big happen, though, in a hill, the pig, the pig incident apparently wasn't just one pig is what it's been. Boiled you, but it was several here and it was a big deal. If you think about is a pig stealing a pig is not a big deal. The time. There's a book called the feud by drinking thinking, Dean King thinking said it so weird

in king. Then he said where was next meal going to come from and how could they feed the children in the winter? There are lucky they have one pig or razor back for cell or trade. The proceeds were used to acquire flower, sugar, coffee, sometimes user boots for their families, with a mainstay for the family. So, these days you hear a pig or even a couple of agony, think what's the big deal, but in the region at the time these these pigs were very valuable, so big deal right. I saw I I ended affright as I do that well yeah and there wasn't anything again we're talking about backwards, Appalache in folk in the nineteenth, and Three! There is a lot to the idea that you had stolen their property here, which, as it but even that aside, I saw this historian on a CBS Sunday morning clip from a few years ago, and he explained like you- can feed sir

sizeable family for a month with a single pig and this guy stole several pigs, so the guy who was accused of stealing the pig was who was it check? Your Randolph Mccoy accused Floyd Hatfield? Ok right, so all Randal himself said Floyd Hatfield, cousin of data. I know that you stole those pigs and I'm taking you to court while they went to court. The problem is, the local magistrate was a Hatfield, but in this case favour his name was a preacher was his first name, I believe in. You is basically that what amounted to the local judge in the TUG River Valley he he tried to make it a fair trial. This heed the one that placed it in Mccoy Land because a trial took place in Mccoy territory, yes, guided by Hatfield the right and he may

further the jury had six Hatfield and six Mccoy on it. He did and nobody else, no joke. Yes, weird, but was trying to make it as far as possible right and so they they had a trial where Floyd Hatfield was tried for hog theft? Have you ever had something stolen from you sure, like in a hugely valuable but yeah? It's one of the things that urged me most is very irritating there's something about like just someone taking something that you worked to buy. Their just really boils my blood now imagine if they took their thing that you work to buy and they were direct,

taking food out of your child's mouth. At the same time, the it make man I pull a Hatfield. The weird thing is: is the Mccoy in the half was at? This point are saying we will let them. We will leave it to the court's re at her, so they did go to court. They did try to have a fair trial, or at least the preacher did preacher, half he'll preacher judge confusing and the the jury was split, except for one who was a Mccoy who sided with the hat fields. His name was Selkirk Mccoy, another made up name Selkirk Hum. He voted that because of a gaining bills, Dayton. Who would testify that Floyd had not stolen the pigs? He said you know why. I'm not gonna contradict bill statin, I know to be truthful or whatever to us. I work for Devil, Anthony logging operation, I'm in a vote Pro Hatfield, an exam

Floyd Employ got off inner. All Randal went nuts, yes, Dayton was the main witness in he was a relative of the Mccoy is, but he was married to a Hatfield right so and while they do, intermarry. I saw that there was way more meringue within the family to avoid any oh yeah there was a lot of first cousins yeah. There were when you watch that family few clip you can go, find it on. I'm sure I knew too, but there is a mental force article that we found that had it embedded at the bottom. Here too, I first heard about it. The better They entered introducing the families they keep, introducing one another's like kissing cousins, there's a kissing, Diane, right and other major saying that nineteen, seventy nine so yeah that where there is a lot of like intermarriage within the family itself, while their brightest. Joking right now now on family feuds, your leg

the guidelines I like I was joking- did he kissed his cousin on tv? No, but Richard Dawson kissed her. He kissed everything I kissed anyway. Who had stand still long enough. What have you learned? Nurture Dawson? Oh yeah, IP there he didn't change his name or even though he is british, what you don't know that could have been Richard them, some Chummily Dawson It's a great man so so are all Randal has just lost this court case. Yes, and even worse, he was made to pay the Hatfield court costs for taking the court and remember: we characterized all ran all as a kind of bitter man, anytime if handed in women's aegis, squeeze them into his eyes,

anger right, yes, and he went on for this fur basically years about how the this is a miscarriage of justice. How foisted stolen his and so now any time Hatfield Mccoy is where depending on their allegiance to the client, yeah or clients any time they saw each other. They were at one another they were giving in to fight. They were throwing rocks like one of them. One of the devil answers signs. Was standing there when all rain or rode up once and all Randall the rail and item about how Floyd had stolen a hog and there's the Mccoy either Hatfield, son grabbed rock, and just through it at all. Rainbows mouth distrust his mouth of Iraq, Yankees, that's what you did back there. RO. I got you killed my brother Harmon, you stole my hard right. You know I'm cool the brother killing Carmen had it coming right, but that I've never heard anybody. We were going to eat it.

So they recover the fact that state in two years later was killed. This is inaccurate, or is it not true bill stating Junior kelp Bill Senior was not killed in the square. This is another boost that retribution ok for his paws. Here because remember money after the Haug incident in the Haug verdict, the the half open, the coils did not fight it out. Right then, at the at the magistrates office, judge preachers place right here, but time the clan saw one another. They would shoot at each other, their fight, they will take, rocks to the faces and then culminated. Finally, in this room,

truly violent incidents between Bill State and Junior and at Paris and SAM Mccoy right. Ok, so building juniors out hunting sees these Mccoy signs and says no, I'm in a world the trouble yeah, I better take a shot at one of em and shoots. Paris, Mccoy in the hip and SAM Acquire was like you shot my brother you're, going down any shoots bill and wounded. And then goes over and executes and point blank and ahead and this bill Junior they'll junior, see I got another article. They said it was bill, but it also said he's Bill Stanton, some starting to doubt all kinds of acts. There's a lot of inaccurate stuff, so I got, I think, the description of the incident from a really great book by gaining John Ed Pierce, its days of darkness colon. So you know its legitimate at a future eastern Turkey, the air so there's been. No.

Serious bloodshed here now. One of the this in this is direct retribution for the Haug stealing verdict. A man has been executed point blank in the head and the two Mccoy boys just tried to get away with it. Yet so let us spilling that's for Tibet to eighteen. Eighty, two and three of Randall signs are attacked, stab twenty six times and shot listen Hatfield who was devils younger brother to death right and those on election day and election days were like drunken affair, see remember when I think of the bars episode We talk about Ike, What was it on gay people drunk at you something I don't planners yeah bimbo planting the flying platters with Burma, the voters with Bumpo man, but I was

can they serve valued, get super drunk and when you get to clans that don't like each other super drunk in the same place, they ve getting fights and people get stared twenty six times in a shot in the back yard, Those three signs of Randall were actually arrested and were presumably going to go to trial, but vigilante ism too cold, and they were kid, on the way to the trial by the hat fields, and they said we're gonna. Take your this. Our way yeah and I, like you- they let them get away with it, but they got away with it. You know did not let them get away with. This was a huge turning point right when the hat field, where the Mccoy boys were intercepted by the half filled and taken across the river, the West Virginia, which basically like taken into Fortress Hatfield yet Country Justice was

yeah, but Devil Lance vowed there. If Ellison made it didn't die, he would not kill these half year. These Mccoy boys yeah but Ellison to come to his wounds and did die, and so they took these Mccoy voice out in time to trees and shot him. I think more than fifty times or something like that air, so you're saying like they, they got away with it, not for lack of trying right basically set off this huge huge issue like this was even further tug River Valley Chuck. This is pretty flagrant. Frontier justice units were still there's a magistrate name preacher. Who is supposed to settle this kind of stuff right, so a guy named Perry was Parrys named Perry Klein. You know what this is. This is too big. We need to take a break our eye and get to the

Parry Klein! Ok, hey I'm Andy! If you don't know me, it's probably because I'm not famous, but I did start immense grooming company called Harry's. The idea for Harry's came out of a frustrating experience. I had buying razor blades. Most brands were overpriced over designed and out of touch at Harry, Our approach is simple: here's our secret! We make sharp, durable, blades and seldom at honest prices for his lower two dollars. Each we care about quality, so much that we do some crazy things like by world class. German blade factory sensing over every detail means were confident in offering a hundred percent quality guarantee. Millions of. I have already made the switch to Harry's, so thank you. If you're one of them and if you're not, we hope you give us a try with the specialist

get a hairy start or set with a five blade. Razor waited handle shave, Joe and travel cover, offer just three bucks, plus free shipping just go to Harry's dot com and enter for four four: four at check out: that's Harry's dot com code for four four four enjoy your backtrack and we have a new guest. The same. Pericles come on in Perry, you're an attorney He was married to Martha Mccoy and here's the deal years before There was a situation where Perry Klein was cheated out of, I think five thousand acres of land.

He cheated, I didn't know if he, if it was actual like justice, because he had supposedly been cutting timber from devil, lances, timberland. Well, here's the deal. Every thing you read will say it depends on who you sympathise with. Oh yeah is how you think, Perry Klein and really all of them were viewed shut so I read articles said that he was treated in articles. It said he wasn't cheated. And I think the family still today like. While there is a peace which will get do they still disagree over Perry, Klein's role. Okay, so, but Perry climbs married to

Roy actually, Asia, Harmon Mccoy whither right, yeah, Martha, and so he had lost five thousand acres, really yeah. That's how much he was forced by the court to see two deadlines for allegedly cutting his timberland. Yes, he was yet a real retribution in mind as an attorney right. So when the half fields executed thee, Mccoy. The three Mccoy Boys Perry Klein used it as a chance dependent look at it either use it as a chance for retribution or his family allegiance was stirred up here and he being an attorney, had contact the governor Governor Bunker, I believe of Kentucky and said governor there's some horrible stuff going on down here, that's being perpetrated by some West Virginians against some law. Abiding Kentucky India and you guys need to do something. And it worked actually yeah. They reinstated the charges and basically put out awards on the head,

he's on the head arrest boundaries. It is of the Hatfield, including six feet of an hundred eighty pounds of hell yeah devil himself here his sons summit, fame allies, layer, dogs uncle Jim Van there. I think there were. There is twenty twenty. And who had indictment against them and since they had indictment, against them, and they were hanging out and West Virginia. They had bounties on their head one of the bounty hunters, the main bounty Hunter who came round if it was a problem that they have bounties on their head, because any crackpot who wanted to come and take shots at those guys and in their was happening quite a bit here. They wanted a collection

right, but there's one guy in particular. Who is a real thorn in their side? His name was mad Frank, Philips. Anne Frank, Philips was a bounty hunter extraordinary. He was about as legally gray as you can get and still not be judged on the dark side of the spectrum, and he made a basically is personal war to get as many Hatfield across the river in Kentucky as he could. So he would carry out raids on the Hatfield, stronghold, West Virginia and basically to abduct Hatfield bring under Kentucky so that they can be put in the pay county jail yeah and while he did this, he was also executing people left and right, like Jim Vance. He shot and wounded saw that he just wounded him walk around from behind and while they twas begging for his life shot him in the head and, like this is Frank, Philips ammo he would executed just as soon as he would capture you. Yet

this is becoming a big deal in the press. This point yeah newspaper, started carrying the stories and became by all accounts like national news and legends like it was everyone knew about the Hatfield Mccoy by this point right end, the press apparently very much sided with the Mccoy they painted the hat fields to seem like backwards, murderous red. Who just cause trouble everywhere. They went and painted the Mccoy is innocent law abiding victims of of this this whole few. And the whole leaden like you're, saying like this- is all in all begins about right here when, when there was one

Almost a war between Kentucky West Virginia because Frank Philips kept going in getting people and bringing them back to pipe County and West Virginia got involved, and the two governors were basically standing toe to tow almost about to go invades and National guard troops in across the border, but instead they lifted the courts, and actually this court case about whether it was legal or not for frank fillip to of abducted the hat fields in taken them to the Kentucky jail reached. The supreme actually it's pretty amazing, isn't the Supreme Court said. You know what it probably is illegal, what happened but can take as a sovereign state, and there is really nothing west virginia- can do about it. So go ahead in triumph But before the trial actually in and while the these abductions were going on, these raids carried out by Frank Phillips, the half fields, like I said like it, was a big

then that there were bounty hunters out to get them and they came up with a plan. To this end, the whole thing in eighteen eighty a murderous killing spree as what they came up with in January of eighteen. Eighty eight group of hat fields said we're gonna Randolph Mccoy and his entire family cap, little Cappy Devil ancestor. In an hour to Jim Vance can lead the way and they them at their home on New year's day eighteen. Eighty eight I Randolph actually escaped, which is their cannot coming after him and he's Lowell who escaped while they were coming after the whole family, Let me read: all intention was it is murder, this whole family out the problem and ran off was the key guy. He actually got away his son out and daughter. Al affair were killed in what they called crossfire, but they were Mina, we'll get real and his wife Sarah was suffered to crush skull. She was beaten so badly. Yes, so our they set the house on

AL affair, open the door to put the fire out and she was shot and killed. And then her mom Sarah wanted to come and light. Comfort or dying daughter, and when she came out they beat her head in with the blood of a pistol. I think tat feel did and then Calvin provided cover furs. Add and ran to attract their gunfire. So's dad could get away and it worked, but Calvin died as a result, you, other daughters, have Mccoy daughters, survives Randal and two daughters survive this attack on his face. And this was when it was like. If the press of the paying attention

were now, they really were and dumb. Basically, everybody was outraged at this in it like this ledge and check is a hundred something years all right and it's easy to can see these people is caricature in its historic, but when you think about what the Hatfield plan to do and tried to do to the Mccoy is, in that case I nears nineteen, oh eight, the news, massacres, autos known ass, that's like objectives despicable the matter wing use when you when it happened going after an entirely, to kill them yet to wipe out a legal entitlement. You know it is a really kind of them brings home like the actual humanity of all of us, it went all the way to the Supreme Court and they decided you know at these. Hatfield should be tried. In eighteen, eighty nine, they were tried and eight of the hat fields and their supporters were since the life in prison and one else,

else. Who people think is the son of Allison had failed in his first yeah, I was actually sentenced to death and now An issue here was a lot of people. Now think he was a kind of a scapegoat because he was mentally challenged and maybe an early false confession happened right exactly, and he actually I'm really his was. If he didn't do it or even if he did, he really get screwed over by the prosecution they. They said that if he confessed in cooperated that he would give a lighter sentence when really he was the only one who confessed and the only one who is hang there so arm in his dying words, I think we're the half fields made me do it.

Yeah. I know there were no public executions at the time, but that did not stop hundreds of people, thousands even from coming out in watching anyway. So it was a public execution and, with the woods are those the so ten ten men had been captured by Frank, Philip I've been indicted and tried in nine of them got life in prison, Ellison Mounts was was hung and this Apparently enough too. I guess mollify ran on Mccoy at first. I think he tried to like rail hence the verdict, but ultimately it was enough to just calm him down and he went and lived in a quiet life quiet haunted life as a fairy operator. I think in live till age. Eighty eight yarn about a year later, when the families both said enough is enough, scholar, truce

and from a thinkers eleven year period, almost twenty four people were killed and both families, while like constitute doesn't folks array eleven year period, its legit. Yet it says that the family feuds that's a big viewed endeavour lance lived through a ripe old age too. He lived too. I think eighty three or something like that. Seventy three said that he was born again. Seventy three, I think you look There is aid really, and but here he was the paranoid for the rest of his life, because I think there is still boundaries head. So we move to an island and carried a rifle with them at all times for the rest of his life.

I've read it seem like behalf fields would have been the one to have that. Well, maybe I'm a victim of the contemporary press, biased media by ass, many ass. I got nothin else, those other stuff, there's plenty of stuff

I'm sure we didn't hit an issue garee some of the cool books written about the stuff. I got one more thing I go here. Come the World WAR to Life magazine use. The families is a way to unite America's war effort by featuring them in a big photo, spread the Hatfield Mccoy, it's like working together in factories, rope forbore to fence awesome, and they think they even met recently in like therefore still out there in the still meeting in talking about this and disagreeing friendly disagreements on people like Perry Klein, and he was the other guy madman month- was made Frank, Philip MAD Frank, Philip, who member said he was legally gray young. He married a Mccoy who ended up who had had a baby with Chauncey Hatfield.
