Thursday, February 10, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 3 in the shadow of the Blue Ridge The Hatfield-McCoy Feud It is only the Yankee-- that Ket a picture of Appalachian mountain people fighting off their neighbors with flintlock rifles. They picture the hill folk as family units speaking like the "Beverly Hillbillies" and resenting any outside intrusion into the little familv. In ract, the "Beieriy Hillbillies" probably would not have exploited the "Tevas Tea" that l ncle led discovered on their land, if they were r?al moan ■ tain people. Many of the myths that stereotype our mountain people as still-tending, barefoot, rifle-bearing folks were made and magivfied by the legend of the Hatfield-McC ()y fend fused with the plastic of Hollywood. Now it is trie that the clannish-type living was carried over to this country by the Scot- Irish immigrants to these Appalachian mountains. But these feuds were the exception, not the rule. The most infamous af these feuds was the aforementioned one of the Hatfields aid McC oy's, It all started in West Virginia during the War Between New service for organizations on campus There is now a new service for Western Carolina L'ni.-> versity organizations. The service is The Student Activities Advisory Council, Purpose of the council is to advise campus clubs, organizations, etc, what to do in cases of financial need, loss of membership, procedures for organizations, and other problems that may arise. Members of the board were chosen for their past and present involvement in student activities on campus and were chosen to serve for a one year term, Members are: Kent Dove, Gene Beasley, Leslie Anderson, John Simpson, and Jeff League, The members are to work on a Student Organizations Handbook also, to go along with the advice, Any organization desiring to use this service should contact the Dean of Student Activities. Volunteer activities available The Office of Volunteer Programs has the following volunteer activities available for interested students and student groups: L Companionship. , ,Three young men, ages 8,11 and 12, sorely need immediate adult guidance and friendship, 2, Repair Work, , .An area gentleman needs assistance in repairing ceilings in his home. 3, Friendly Visiting. , .Not everyone has someone to talk with; everyone needs someone. For information about these and other programs please contact the Office of Volunteer Programs: Bird Building-206, Phone - 293-7471. the States, when Harmon McCoy was shot and killed oy Devil Anse Hatfield in 18(i3. later on lonse Hatfield fell head over- heels in love with Rosanna McCoy, but his father Devil Anse would no: permit a marriages The passions of young manhood would not be bound by the mere mouthing* of an old man, So Jonse took Rosanna in illegitimate wedlock and sh;- had a child under Devil Anse's roof. Old Randall, the head of the McCoy clan,, grew embittered at the fact of having an illegitimate child and even more so ih;it it w-is fathered by a Hat-' field. The hatred gre* until another person died as a result of the ownership of a hog. The McCoys retaliated by slaying Ellison Hatfield with a knife. Th? Hatfield clan avenged Devil Anse's brother's death by killing Randall McCoy's sons, Little Randall, Tolbert aid Phemi-r, The feud continued with deaths by ambush, house burn ings and kidnappings, When the law '.ried to stop the bloodshed, Devil Anse Hatfield built a drawbridge outside his homestead to stem the flow of Me- Coy's stealing onto his property, This war, in Logan County, West Virginia, where the Tug Fork and Levisa Rivsrs form the Big Sandy, lasted until 1920. Sid Hatfield killed he mayor of the town of Matewan, and when the posse of detectives came to arrest Sid, his party killed nine more la a enforcement officers. The feud ended with Devil -\iw surviving all. Another famous fetid was one carried out in Kentucky, A family named Tolllver became too prosperous for their neighbors and the father Toll iver was shot and killed in front of his fourteen year old son by a member of ihe Martin clan, Craig Tolliver, the survivor of the murder, held his hatred until 1884 when the election of an unsatisfactory sheriff led to a fight, Cuns wer» drawn And in the resulting fight Sol Bradley, father of seveiij and supporter of the new sheriff was killed. No one coutild determine if it was a Martin or Tolliver that dropped Old Sol Bradley, From that August 1884, until December, both sides drew forces. Then one wintry night Floyd Tolliver and John Martin had a showdown, Martin didn't even bother to draw as he shot through his pocket to kill Tolliver instantly, Martin surrendered to Ihe law, Later five men identifying themselves as law enforcement officers, (but sympathizing with Tolliver), placed John Martin on a train to the county seat where his trial was to be held. Midway there friends.tndmem . bers of the Tolliver clan boarded the train and shot Martin to death, Between this time and die following March 1883, one of each clan died, Craig Tolliver, now t'te sheriff approached the Martin household with false warrants, He killed a friend of the Ma-tins and burned the house to the ground. The Martins retaliated by sending the Tolliver crew a poi soned roast turkey. An ensuing two hour gunfight killed four more people, bringing the grand total To twenty-four, After this battle three more deaths occurred that could be attributed to the feud, and then Rowan County Kentucky lay- quiet. The vicious nature of the.-e cla.i wars lay only in the iso lation and clan tradition from Scot-Irish ancestors holed up in these mountains, The true gun-toting nature of our mountain folk can only now be in flamed &v violation of their kin or disrespect to their dwindling mountain privacy.
