Its pretty plain why he can't do it, but Ance should just tell the rest of his low life family to F-off. It feels like they're dragging him into this mess, while his immediate family seems relatively even keeled.

That lawyer is also a POS, and clearly responsible for a lot of this, at least as far as the show is telling us.

I think the tomb stone reveal as the "evidence" was my favorite scene of the night, along with Ance and his brother talking about the fox and Costner telling him that the reason it had never come back is because he had doubled back and killed it.

I wonder how historically accurate this miniseries is. Hatfield vs McCoy started over a dispute over land. I don't remember that.

I believe what this mini series is saying is that it wasn't any one issue but a culmination of things over years.

My favorite line from last night:

"You come home with a Hatfield bastard in your belly?"

Looking at the long branches on that McCoy family tree, I don't think much seed was spilled.

pretty much useless,spineless fricker.

Hatfield shows him a tombstone with the other guy's name on it and he just accepts that and bows down to Hatfield... why is it any easier to believe that the document was forged but not the tombstone?

I thought about this too and I can only assume that the lawyer knew something wasn't right also and that is also why he let Hatfiled have timber rights on his land so easily.

Although I hate reading into events. I much rather the director just present us with stuff he wants us to know so there isn't a lot of interpreting that needs to be done.

Well, at the time, it would be much harder to prove the tombstone was a fake, and the lawyer would know this. This was not an uncommon practice with these types of disputes.

Should I watch these? I missed last night, but noticed part 1 is replaying tonight before part two premiers.

Is it worth 4 hours of my night?

Yes. Very well done. Very good acting, pretty damn historically accurate too.

What part of WV is your family from?


I really like this show so far. McCoys hold some serious grudges. Oh well. Go Hatfields

Grew up about 30 minutes away from where this all happened. And because I saw someone bring up the Whites, im also from the same town as them. (CSB)
Really looking forward to tonights episode.

I may be the odd man out based on other responses, but I'm on team McCoy. The damn Hatfields started all the shite. Or at least Uncle Jim did. All because of a comment over his dog.
