The document summarizes the famous feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families in the late 1800s. It began during the Civil War when the families fought on opposing sides, and continued with disputes over stolen property and marriages between family members. Over a dozen lives were lost in violent attacks between 1878 and 1888 before the families eventually reconciled. Today the families hold joint reunions and have put their bitter feud behind them.
