That's a beautiful headstone in a beautiful spot. My Granny was born in 1900 and lived 100 years. All those changes in their world. Can you just imagine?! I'd love to hear what they thought of the differences in their childhood years and all the advances in everything by the 1970s when they passed. If you bring a pray bottle of water to squirter on the older headstones sometimes that helps bring out the letters. Just plain water.

I've been all over those woods that's in my part of West Virginia. Makes me homesick

❤❤❤ Good morning Leo and Heather!! God bless you both it does my heart good to know y'all helping to keep the history alive it's so sad the fued between the Hatfield and McCoy the good Lord knows I pray there's peace now idk love y'all I appreciate everything you guys do ❤❤❤

I stumbled on your wonderful videos! Ty so much! I’m now a subscriber! ❤❤

I've not been down that way since the new road got built. When I was going down Island Creek way, it was very sad driving by there and seeing that home rot away. So much history has been lost, thanks to both of you for keeping it going! God Bless you and Heather, (Glen). WV.

Too bad that house couldn’t have been saved!!! Up here in Pa and eastern Ohio and northern WV I’ve seen alot of old log homes built back then still being used. I’ve seen some as far back as late 1790s 😎💪🇺🇸🙏 I love this old history

Vance, Hatfields, McCoys, Browns, and Brumfields and Thompsons all very very historic names in southern West Virginia. I’m from Lincoln County myself and I have family in the mountains and I believe I have lots of Hatfield relatives from the area of Logan. This place here. West Virginia. Is the most prominent history you could ever sit and read over. It needs much more light and respect

Agreed I’m in eastern Ontario. I might get down there but if not I’m seeing it!

Love your videos. Very inspiring and informative. Greetings from Norway

I just love family history! I've not been down that way for decades. If I can find someone who can drive and has a desire to go, I'll be coming back that way again. Family from the area has long been gone, but that just means... nothing. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth in Spring. Many thanks, my brother.

We literally just got home today from visiting Kentucky from AL and did the Hatfield McCoy driving tour (not all the stops because we had small kids with us) I wish I had known where this was! Love your videos ❤

Also.. I bout fainted walking up the hill to the Hatfield gravesite.. 😅

I cant imagine living in that time ! Its beautiful there for sure! Thank you for this video!

You guys do a great job. I spent alot of years there up 27 holler if you know where that is. Keep up the great work

I greatly appreciate the fact you take your time to show us these places like Cap's home place and grave that most will never have the opportunity to go and visit . It really puts the old stories into a new prospective.

You guys due such a great job on these stories of real ppl and show them respect..

I was just struck with how beautiful and peaceful that cementary is. Cap marker is fabulous Such a pretty piece of land my god. What a nice place to rest. Thank you for the video. .

I visited many years ago when the house was still standing. There was a trailer next to it, which somebody lived in, but I could not find anyone around. But I did take several pictures of the house. Wish the house still stood.

Thank you for sharing this one !

Leo glad you brought us Caps story and grave sight especially being on private land. It should help the land owners keep people away from needing to visit what draws interest but still tell an interesting part of history of that area. Chickens in a graveyard are a interesting story in itself so capture that one Leo

Great job you two.love and respect.

I so appreciate all you share on your channel, absolutely wonderful content. Thank you 🙏

I recall an episode of Pawn Stars when this guy brought in what was supposedly Cap’s rifle. The provenance just wasn’t there. Dude was majorly disappointed.

GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing ❤.

I love back in the old days love your story

Thank you for sharing..

Wow! This was exciting to see!! Thank You!!

Really enjoyed this video a lot great job you guys do

Thank y’all again for another wonderful video and story. 😇

Love your videos and the hard work you and Heather do to bring them to us. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the tour

Beautiful land where Cap's house once stood, unfortunate that the house was not preserved. It looks like the family takes pretty good care of the cemetery, Cap has a cool looking headstone 🪦 Why do you think that Cap and his father had that falling out? Were they too much alike? This was a very interesting video, thank you very much Leo and Heather. Have a great day. 😊

I watched that home rot away for years, Leo. It made me so sad over the years. 😢 I was raised all my life at Omar. The best years of my life ❤

Nice video, guys. Thanks for all the errort ya'll put into these videos. It's a shame that we, people, can not respect other people's property the way it should be. I was raised, that you respected another person's property more than you would your own. If you hunt or fish on someone's place, with permission, leave it better than you found it. A few can spoil it for everyone. Wouldn't it be great to go back 100 years and get all the facts and be able to remove the doubt and conjecture. Again, guys, thanks for all that ya'll do bringing us these stories. God bless ya'll for what you do and stay safe out on your travels.

I really love your videos. God bless y'all

What beautiful country, thank you

Action Speak's More Than Word's !! When Come's To There Children !!

Cap's gravestone is beautiful. Sad that others rest in unmarked graves their names known only to God. It's a shame that Cap's house is gone. A piece of history just gone. Very interesting tour. ❤

Heather, loved the colored photograph. Who owns the property today?. Every time you mention Devil 's final resting place, I can't help but remember the story of someone who visited the cemetery where he is buried and actually ran out it because it is haunted. Great video Leo and Heather.

Thanks so much for this video tour, I enjoyed it. Such a mezmerizing story, of the Hatfields & McCoys feud. (What is up with all the roosters crowing throughout the valley? Is that normal??)

The guy on the hill had a bunch of them.

I like seeing and hearing about the original person instead of what movies said they were.

Everytime I visit my families, and ancestors graves I put atleast a flower on it to let them know I was there : they aren't forgotten. I have a backpack I call my cemetery bag so I can clean the grave if needed, cut away brush from it etc

Leo you done told everybody watching this where the bridge is and what route ....

Sucks that people get mad about looking at the history of that area especially when your just looking I understand if someone was being disrespectful but to look and pay your respects makes the whole thing seem kinda not worth it … sad I visited those areas while riding the trails but was nervous the whole time

LOVE YAW LEO THANKS AGAIN BROTHER TAKE EM EAZY

HEY, THANK YOU I grew up with a Hatfield

I think that plate is probably bronze, sad to see people picking away at it

Thank you for sharing this. I'm a descendant of the Hatfield's but not 100% sure where I'm placed. I was born Mary A. Hatfield of Anthony and Evelyn Hatfield. My dad is from Owensboro KY. My Grandfather was V.T. Hatfield and great grandfather was Payton Hatfield. VT was his name but the Army gave him the name Valentine because they didn't allow names that were initials only. If anyone would like to help place me in the family tree of who I descended from I'd appreciate it. ❤

Hello Leo and Heather

Hey Leo. Headed your way in October. Staying in delbarton. Would love to take a tour with you. Give me a shout if you’re available. Thanks

Look at all those fighting roosters

There was even a mustang on the trail. lol. Very pretty and peaceful.

That’s a lot of chickens . 🐐🐐🐐holy crap could they go any higher . Can you imagine hauling coffins up there ? ! I cannot !

Please put names with pictures for us Thanks

Hi, how are you related to the Hatfields

Fighting roosters at Caps.

He was a product of the time. I think he should have never gone on the run out west. His son died during that time. Maybe karma? Maybe it could have been prevented if he stayed to look after him? But he was there during the cabin massacre a very cowardly act. It was horrible what they did. Either way, interesting story.

​@thehillbillyfiles OK so Jim Vance's descendants? I know he's also kin to Hatfields I'm just asking if Jim comes in there somewhere? The reason I was asking about ownership of the cemetery is because I didn't understand why you would have to get permission to visit and in some cases like the McCoy's you have to prove that they are a descendant. I'm from Virginia and we have family that's on old mountain cemeteries and you have to cross through land owners to get to them and they don't really say anything about visiting but of course it's not the Hatfield and McCoy's either 😅 I'm sure that can draw a crowd.
