About Hatfield & McCoy Feud Tour App
The Hatfield & McCoy Feud Tour App is an easy and convenient way to discover the history of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud and helps users plan for their visit to tour the sites.
Direct descendants of both the Hatfields and McCoys who grew up along the creeks and hollows of the region designed the Feud App. With the use of actual court testimonies, interviews, historical documents, confessions and newspaper articles from the 1880s and 1890s, the Feud App provides a unique perspective from the view of the participants in their own words.
It is designed with GPS technology to show your position, the location of the feud site and a possible route that can be used to plan your trip in areas where GPS signal is available.
Even if you are not planning to visit the sites in person, the Feud App is designed as a convenient way to “tour” the sites on your Android device. The sites include historical background as well as an image gallery. Both recent and historical photographs are used to show you what the region and participants looked like.
Learn that the participants were not only Hatfields and McCoys. Various family surnames included: Cline, Staton, Ellis, Phillips, Christian, Chambers, Mitchell, Browning, Vance, Mayhorn, Gillespie, Mounts, Messer, Wallace and Whitt. Important political figures play a role including Governor Simon Buckner of Kentucky and Governor Emanuel Willis Wilson of West Virginia. The feud even involved a case ruled upon by the United States Supreme Court in 1888 (Mahon v. Justice).
