That's the closest to the truth as far as we know of That I've heard

I wish I could have lived my life during these times... I can't stand the way things are anymore. The times we live in these days are trash it's ridiculous!! If I can make one wish it would be to be alive for a hundred years during those times... I think technology is destroying the world and our people are being destroyed by technology and nobody notices it.. I can't stand the way people act every single day is a testament of why I cannot stand people... I also wish somebody could go back in time and talk some sense into these people and show them the outcome of their actions before they make the decision...

I am both a McCoy and Hatfield. I only finding this out a year ago. My father was from Kentucky My mother from Western NC. Dad passed when I was 2. I finally found some cousins in Kentucky. The McHenrys. My Dad was James Edward Hughes. My grandma was Cordila McHenry Hughes. My mother never took me back to Kentucky. But I was lucky enough to go spend time with my family. I have learned so much from them. Thank you for doing these videos. It helps me more than you could ever know. My mother's people in Western NC did not welcome me with open arm's. But my Kentucky people did.

I picked up the 3 DVD Costner version at a local store, (why I am here now:)). The people with the best "sense of life" in the movie were Johnsy, Probably Roseanna, Judge Hatfield, probably any of the little kids, and the very intelligent lady, considered "nuts" at the end of the movie, Randall McCoy's wife, (who I actually think was the most intelligent of them all, including the law). I understood exactly what she meant with her last words to her husband just before they shipped her to a mental hospital. It was Randall McCoy who needed some help. He had the hardest time figuring out reality of them all, and held deep grudges in confusion the most. It was a time and place where some people had no choice but to take the law into their own hands. There did not seem to be any local law enforcement, (or not effective proper law enforcement), there to take care of a murder. I bet there are lots of stories that started like this, but this one got out of hand and became historic.

I don’t agree about Johnsy having the best sense of life. He went to marry five times. It only showcases that he was indeed the cad they say he was. Roseanne was clearly more of a hillbilly than Johnsy and this would have been her first foray into romance where she would have thought that they would be married. She came from a more Godly and righteous family but also a more reclusive family. The Hatfields were business people and more cut throat in their leanings. I actually understand Randall and his hanging onto grievances after all he was the one who lost his children, Anse lost none of his. McCoy kept his oath to stay on in the war while Hatfield was a traitor and a deserter. Feelings ran high during the war and for the South, after the war. They still do if truth be told. McCoy probably did have his pig stolen as well. So the McCoys lived in misery while the Hatfields having taken the low road with desertion only prospered. I think I would feel genuine hatred in those times towards the Hatfields as well. Then the very worst to have your house burnt down and children murdered while your wife received a fractured skull when she went to her daughter that had been murdered might just take the blessed cake for me if I were Randall. He was also taken as a POW and those camps that held the Southerners were notorious for the dreadful atrocities they did with their prisoners. A Southerner would never tell his tales of that though. To repeat though, while Randall kept his oath and suffered atrocities of war, Anse deserted and prospered and his family went on to kill many McCoys. Johnsy was nothing but a weak bastard that put more poison onto the family and with an innocent daughter of Randall’s who should have known better than to go against her own. While the Irish probably did it best over the years of hatred between the Catholics and protestants, how tell me, could i5 have been any different? If the other side killed one of mine then there could be no forgiveness. Which is the reason it went on so long.

Johnse was made to seem like a good guy, based on what I understand.. He was unfaithful, chose to let Roseanna and their unborn child walk away.. He married her cousin.. That doesn’t really seem like a very good guy to me.. Ellison, at least based on the mini series was the most level headed person in the two families

When I first heard this story of the famous Johnsey, I thought to myself he must be a real looker. But then I seen a photo of him. Goodness he was quite homely.😳😳😳😳

I've climbed the mountain and visited Mr McCoy. Haven't had a chance to visit Mr. Hatfield. They both had to be huge influences, brothers at arm's.

Great storytelling! Thanks for sharing

He at least seems to have aggressively held onto this grudge. There are some historians that believe he likely suffered from PTSD due to his imprisonment in one of the most notorious prison camps during the Civil War. If that's true, it may have affected his behavior.

@@vivians9392 thanks. She was a crazy old gal. I was with her almost a year. She wanted me to slap her during sex. She really had a taste for violence. Getting slapped around was a big turn on for her. She was a good looking old gal but I had to get away from her. She got to stalking me and that was scary. She would park her car in an alley across the street and watch my house. I finally had to take out a restraining order on her. I called the cops one night when she was watching me and they took her to jail. But her being a woman they didn’t do anything to her. One thing I learned from that old gal is there are as many mean women as there are men. She had been married 4 times. I guess that should have told me something but she convinced me that it was all the men’s fault and not hers and she had picked 4 bad men. I met her in a chiropractor’s office where she worked as a receptionist.

Johnse Hatfield was a Rounder and a Cad. Roseanna deserved a better man. Romeo and Juliet? No, more like Lago and Juliet.
