Hatfields & McCoys: An American Feud (1996x47)

Air date: Jun 17, 1995

In the heart of Appalachia, along the border of the Tug Fork River, a family feud ignited when Floyd Hatfield stole a hog from an unsuspecting Randolph McCoy in 1878. After 11 years' time, a dozen people lay dead -- and the national press had a field day with exaggerating details in subsequent coverage. More than 100 years later, this "Biography" installment seeks to set the story straight by talking with descendants of both fabled families.
