Love This – Hatfields & McCoys
.
Last night was Part 1 of the 3-part mini-series Hatfields & McCoys on the History Channel. I love history, and shows like this are brilliant for whetting your interest to learn more and for getting a sense of all the different bits and pieces that make-up historical periods and events.
The Hatfield-McCoy feud is now part of American folklore and legend. The real Hatfield-McCoy feud started around 1863 between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky and ran until 1901.
If you missed Part 1, don’t worry. Part 1 repeats tonight, right before Part 2 starts at 9 pm Eastern Standard Time

I’m not sure we’ve heard of those guys over here! Deccy x
Sounds a bit like the clans in Scotland who are always feuding.

Oh, I am green with envy! I love interesting history shows, but we don’t get cable. I’ll have to see if it’s coming out on DVD or something.
I know where you took that picture! lol I love that barn every time we drive past it!
We watched it last night and thought it was good. We will be tuning in tonight. I think it is coming out on DVD, isn’t it? I thought they said Amazon will have it.
I noticed you commented on Frosty Paws on my blog. I make my own. I used to buy them, when I just had Jack, but had to change my ways with two dogs. I just take vanilla flavored yogurt and add peanut butter or pumpkin pie to it and blend it. I put it in small Glad plastic containers with lids and freeze it. I buy the large container of yogurt (32 oz, I think) and it makes about 18 treats for $2.50 plus the cost of peanut butter or whatever else I put in it. Scout loves her “frosty treats”. 🙂
We really wanted to see this last night but forgot that it was on until it was too late!
I love history too but we don’t have cable or a dish. I would love to see it too–maybe on DVD when it comes out in the stores. Enjoy your week!!
Thanks so much for your visits!!!!
There’s so much good on TV, besides Retro Network reruns of that 70s car show with David Hasselhoff. Too bad I never get time to watch it! This sounds like a really good series.
Oh, we will have to check this out! We love these kinds of series, too.
Your pal, Pip
Wes watched last night too! We can’t wait for next week!
