I really liked it! It is On Demand through the History channel. Spent time after part 3 was done, googling and reading up on the "real" story, seems the History Channel did pretty well, but some differences.

Yeah me to. It didn't say anything about Randall mccoy dying in a fire.but it was a great story.I always was into history and "old stories" from the past. I wish times were like that now, no cares just you and your family with a big plot of land like my grandpa had in Kentucky those were the days

I found one reference that did say Randall died in a fire, after the fued ended, and he became a ferry boat driver.

Things are definitely very different now, we've lost alot of freedoms, but we've gained a lot of things too. I am not sure I'd want to live back then, notsure I wouldn't. I'd like to visit, and see what it was really like.

Im not saying id want to go back that far just back to when it was a simpler life style and not all the separation in the us there is. when people were united. I definatley am thinking about loading up the truck and heading to west virginia and ride some of the trailers and visit land marks.

I would have loved to meet Popcorn, it's a shame he took his own life after the Feds cracked down on him and were about to send him to jail. The Hatfield Mcoy trail is a ATV paradise, the little towns don't mind you driving your 4wheeler up to the gas pumps or reseraunts. I have heard from fiends it it an awsome ride.

Benjamin, did you want them?

If so, Bob, who's Popcorn? I don't remember the character/person.

I'm interested in the learning about the fued because I like to approach history as things that happened to or were done by real people, and why they did them, not just politics, war and geography.
