Description

🎙️ Map of historic travels

We’re diving deep into the wild world of the Hatfields and McCoys, a legendary family feud that kicked off over a pig but spiraled into a saga of chaos and heartbreak. Yep, you heard that right—a pig! Join me, Scott, and my historian wife Jen as we take a stroll through the hills of Kentucky, where we’ll unpack the juicy details of this infamous rivalry that’s been the talk of the town since before your grandma was even a twinkle in her daddy’s eye. We’ll share our own adventures, including a run-in with a Hatfield descendant, and explore how a simple squabble turned into a full-blown war that would make even Shakespeare raise an eyebrow. Get cozy, grab a snack, and let’s chat about the family drama, the heartbreak, and how this tale is still woven into the fabric of American folklore today!
