Feud: Hatfields, McCoys, and Social Change in Appalachia, 1860-1900 (Fred W. Morrison Series in Southern Studies) by Altina L. Waller
This was well researched especially when you realize it was written before the internet. The version of the feud we have been given is totally inaccurate. It was a tad hard to read in that there was a lot of legal text and it was written by a college professor but still great to read as a descendant of valentine hatfield.
Feud: Hatfields, McCoys, and Social Change in Appalachia, 1860-1900 (Fred W. Morrison Series in Southern Studies) by Altina L. Waller
My quick take on the book: This is a interesting read for those new to the Appalachian region, but I found the explanations about the larger forces at work to be lacking. A much better portrait of the region, the reason for some of the feuds, and the impact on America can be found in the book, The Road to Poverty.
