Descriere magazin:
America\'s most notorious feud began in 1865 with the murder of Asa McCoy, a Union soldier, by a Hatfield relative. The grudges and retribution continued over years of bloody violence, a Supreme Court ruling, and Kentucky\'s last hanging. Here is a new look at the infamous story of the Hatfields and the McCoys, a historic rivalry that still captures the public\'s imagination. America\'s most notorious family feud began in 1865 with the murder of a Union McCoy soldier by a Confederate Hatfield relative of Devil Anse Hatfield. More than a decade later, Ranel McCoy accused a Hatfield cousin of stealing one of his hogs, triggering years of violence and retribution, including a Romeo-and-Juliet interlude that eventually led to the death of one of McCoy\'s daughters. In a drunken brawl, three of McCoy\'s sons killed Devil Anse Hatfield\'s younger brother. Exacting vigilante vengeance, a group of Hatfields tied them up and shot them dead. McCoy posses hijacked part of the Hatfield firing squad across state lines to stand trial, while those still free burned down Ranel McCoy\'s cabin and shot two of his children in a botched attempt to suppress the posses. Legal wrangling ensued until the US Supreme Court ruled that Kentucky could try the captured West Virginian Hatfields. Seven went to prison, and one, mentally disabled, yelled, The Hatfields made me do it! as he was hanged. But the feud didn\'t end there. Its legend continues to have an enormous impact on the popular imagination and the region. With a charming voice, a wonderfully dry sense of humor, and an abiding gift for spinning a yarn, bestselling author Lisa Alther makes an impartial, comprehensive, and compelling investigation of what happened, masterfully setting the feud in its historical and cultural contexts, digging deep into the many causes and explanations of the fighting, and revealing surprising alliances and entanglements. Here is a fascinating new look at the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud.
