Testimonials from the back cover:

"This lean and judicious little book represents the first serious scholarly attempt to sort out truth from myths in the Hatfield-McCoy feud. The author is a careful and steady craftsman, and this work easily sets for its subject the new standard- one that needs emulating in light of our national rogues gallery of violent hero-villains." Journal of American History

"The best published account of the history of this complete and fascinating feud." Ohio History

"Rice's volume is the best ever written about the Hatfield-McCoy feud; indeed, it should be the definitive work on this subject." West Virginia History

"The participants in this unique drama are unforgettable. Without a doubt, the Hatfield-McCoy feud will reign supreme as the most fascinating vendetta on the American scene. In this book, Mr. Rice uses court records, public documents, official correspondence, newspaper accounts, and other evidence to rub the legend and the lies off the facts. He succeeds, and the resulting book is a captivating account of two families whose stubbornness and loyalty were exceeded only by their capacity for a terrible revenge." Southern Living
