Then this handsome 320-page hardbound edition gives readers a captivating and enlightening bird s-eye view of the Hatfield-McCoy feud, the killings, and the post-feud years when the shooting subsided. \"Now the story the real account of my great-grandfather, Devil Anse Hatfield, can be told, without exaggeration or fable,\" Dr. Coleman C. Hatfield said recently from his home in Stollings, WV. \"My father, Coleman A. Hatfield, the son of Cap Hatfield, spent the majority of his adult life researching Hatfield and McCoy feud history. Besides being a Logan attorney, he was a gifted writer and researcher in his own right. He kept meticulous journals and audiotapes throughout his life about his historical findings, before passing away in 1970. In addition to his research, Dad remembered and recounted many of the stories and tall tales that he personally heard Devil Anse and his wife, Levicy, tell the grandchildren through the years. \"Unfortunately, my father never got to see his dream that of publishing his own scholarly account of Hatfield and McCoy history fulfilled. But now, after all these years, this volume, The Tale Of The Devil, reflects my father's findings, my own lifelong research of Hatfield facts, and the exhaustive work of journalist and historian Robert Y. Spence. It was quite an undertaking and the 320 pages represent many years of investigation and hard work. \"I am especially pleased to be able to finally fulfill Dad's dream and a personal goal of my own, as well. As far as I am concerned, this biography is important for a number of reasons most significantly, it's important for my Hatfield family, the people of the great State of West Virginia, and for all readers of American history to have a balanced and factual record of the life of our family patriarch, Devil Anse. The true story of 'The Boogerman' is an exciting and stirring story.\" Because this manuscript gleans much of its information from grandson Coleman A. Hatfield s exhaustive manuscripts, journals, and audiotapes, which were compiled and collected over a lifetime, the story is fresh and entertaining to read and offers additional insider information, which has never before been published. Finally, the book features an index, bibliography, endnotes, and thirty pages of photographs many rare, including one particular photo of Devil Anse never before published, taken when he was about 35-years-old.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"809 WV Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33462716661895,"sku":"Hatfield 9781891852855","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0363\/1621\/7479\/products\/tale12.jpg?v=1585791378"},{"product_id":"mothman-the-facts-behind-the-legend","title":"Mothman The Facts Behind the Legend","description":"\u003cspan\u003eOn the night of November 15, 1966, two adventurous young couples drove into the TNT area north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
