1878 – 1891 American lore Bitterly feuding – a metaphor Hatfield’s – West Virginia; the McCoy’s – Old Kentucky region Not quite the same anymore. Both Manny-factured and sold lightning white, gorillas in the Un-Civil War Hatfield’s wore the blue McCoy’s were Johnny Rebs. Feud for thought began as a wedding plan – clans disagreed, that be about 1873 – but over a hog Line in the sand – damn! Tempers escalated after a Hatfield boy affaired with the real McCoy girl Rescue me party ensued No one got screwed. 1882 came along – McCoy’s murdered a Hatfield’s son Was stabbed 26 times and finished off with a shot, but not whiskey. By the end of the feud More than 12 members died in their boots Accused stood trial – denial Descendants signed a truce. '2008' RLS
