Movie Reviews of History's Mysteries: Family Feud: The Hatfields And McCoys
Movie Review: A & E' Definitive Documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
A & E does a great job summarizing the actual events and dispelling the mythology of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. Though some descendants of the famous feudists disagree on the causes of the this epic dispute, it is clear that this documentary outlines the commonly agreed upon ingredients, including the 1878 hog trial where family patriarch Randolph McCoy accused his neighbor Floyd Hatfield of stealing one of his hogs. Additionally, the legal machinations of attorney and part time jailer Perry Cline are also discussed, particularly his hard feelings over losing prime timber land to Devil Anse Hatfield. Other famous occurrences including the Johnse Hatfield/Roseanna McCoy romance, the murder of Ellison Hatfield and subsequent retribution killings of Tolbert, Pharmer and Randolph McCoy Jr. are also included. Hatfield-McCoy scholars such as the late Dr. Otis Rice and Kentucky College professor James Klotter are on hand to add credibility to this outstanding documentary.
Summary of History's Mysteries: Family Feud: The Hatfields And McCoys
A cow did not start the Chicago fire, but a pig was the catalyst for the most famous family feud in American history! A dozen years and twelve lives later, the Hatfields and McCoys called an end to their fight, and their story became a part of folklore. FAMILY FEUD: THE HATFIELDS AND McCOYS journeys to the Appalachian border of Kentucky and West Virginia to tell the whole story. There is more to it than most realize: millions of dollars worth of timber and coal rich land were at stake, the courts were involved and once the national press got wind of what was happening, the backwoods folk found that their fight was being followed nationwide. Drawing on contemporary coverage, testimony from descendants of both families and expert commentary, HISTORY'S MYSTERIES separates fact from fiction in the captivating saga of the Hatfields and McCoys. Their fight wasn't actually much worse than many others that raged in 19th century America--but it got more press!This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
