Hatfield~McCoy Feud

The death in 1882 of Ellison Hatfield, brother of "Devil Anse", from wounds he received in an election~day fight in Pike County, Kentucky, with three sons of Randolph McCoy, and their subsequent killing by the Hatfields, triggered America's most famous family feud. The feud continued six years across the Tug River and brought death to an untold number of Hatfields, McCoys, and their kinsmen.
