Hatfields & Mccoys

I went to college with both hatfields and mc coys - they were all over it a long time ago. How you could make a 3 night series out of it leaves me wondering.

Since it went on for nearly 30 years, I am sure there is enough material for three nights worth. Of course, they will over dramatize it a bit, but thats what they do in tv/film.

The majority of the Hatfields living in Mingo County (in what would eventually become West Virginia) fought for the Confederacy in the American Civil War. The majority of the McCoys living in Pike County, Kentucky fought for the Union Army. The first real violence in the feud was the murder of a returning Union soldier Asa Harmon McCoy. He was killed by a group of ex-Confederates Homeguard called the "Logan Wildcats". Devil Anse Hatfield was a suspect at first, but was later confirmed to have been sick at home at the time of the murder. It was widely believed that his uncle, Jim Vance, a member of the Wildcats, committed the murder.
