This review is from: The Rugged Southern Appalachia: Hatfield-McCoy Feud : Biographical and Historical (Paperback)
I am a direct descendent of the Hatfields of West Virginia. My 3rd great granddfather migrated west and settled in the town of Mossyrock, WA. The good in this book is its focus on the lore of the two families. The stories have been passed down from generation to generation. Who did what to whom and how they related to each other. The bad is its lack of attention to the sociology of the feud: was it really family honor or is the poverty of the region to blame? What about the federal governments interference? We hear so much about the ATF/FBI at Waco, but the federal government was a critical factor in the feud in its later years. My grandfather moved to Washington because he faced potential arrest by the federal government.
