Hatfield and McCoy Feud
Confederate veteran, legendary mountaineer and hunter, successful entrepreneur, exceptional marksman, and family patriarch of the feuding Hatfields, Captain William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield (1839-1921) was known internationally by the time this photograph was taken.
An article in Confederate Veteran magazine, in the October 1900 issue, stated, “Devil Anse goes always with a Winchester, a sack around his neck full of cartridges, a pair of good Smith and Wessons, and, I am told, that a pair of good Damascus blades luxuriate constantly from his boot legs … He virtually sleeps with one eye open, or, as someone said, ‘sleeps on one side at a time.’
“He has been hounded by officers and enemies so long that he is ever alert and watchful, so much so that, in addition to the five senses being all perfect, the boys say that he has also an eye in the back of his head … He was a good Confederate soldier, and is far more to be pitied now in his near three score and ten than condemned.”
Shown here, with thick leather boots, lever-action Winchester, shell-belt, with plenty of ammo: The Devil was ready for any circumstance or trial. He’s shown mounted on a magnificent animal—his favorite horse, Fred.

A family member of mine went to his funeral and took pics.
I don’t have immediate access to his images but I’ll work on getting them.
There were hundreds of folks all over the holler.

No need to celebrate this ANTI Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, and other dead white transphobe. I’m literally shaking that you would bring this here so close to the Trans day of Vengeance.

Definitely looks like a guy you didn't want to cross.

Spent a good bit of time in Eastern Ky, Appalachia is something that if you haven’t experienced it, you can’t describe it.
