Having its roots in the Civil War , the feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families took place in the Appalachian Mountains along the West Virginia- Kentucky border area between and The bitter feud attracted nationwide attention, ignited generations of bitter grudges and resentment, and not only included police intervention, but also that of governors and the Supreme Court.
The Hatfields were more affluent than the McCoys and were well-connected politically. The McCoys were a lower to middle-class family, but Randolph owned a acre farm and livestock. Both families were involved in the manufacturing and selling of illegal moonshine and both families had complex kinship and social networks.
Family loyalty was often determined not only by blood but by employment and proximity. Both groups fought with the Confederates during the Civil War. However, there was one exception. Francis, Jr. Asa H. McCoy was a friend and a neighbor of William Francis. Asa McCoy was released early from the Army in December because he had a broken leg and returned to Kentucky.
When Asa heard gunshots as he drew water from his well, he hid in a nearby cave, but the Wildcats followed him there and shot him on January 7, Devil Anse Hatfield was a suspect at first but was later confirmed to have been sick at home at the time of the murder. It was then widely believed that his uncle, Jim Vance, had committed the murder. Afterward, relations between the two families declined. When the charges against Floyd were dropped, the McCoys were infuriated.
Sam stood trial for the murder but was acquitted for self-defense. The pair instantly hit it off and disappeared for hours with each other in the coming months. Because her father adamantly disapproved, Roseanna fled to West Virginia to be with Johnse. She was soon followed by a McCoy posse who arrived at the Hatfield home and arrested Johnse on outstanding Kentucky bootlegging warrants.
Devil Anse then gathered his own crew to cut off the McCoys and rescue his son. Afterward, the couple remained apart, but Roseanna was pregnant. Both families refused to allow them to marry. She gave birth to a daughter, Sarah Elizabeth McCoy, in the spring of Baby Sarah died at the age of eight months from measles.
By the late s, the Natchez had abandoned Emerald Mound and established their capital at the Grand Village some 12 miles to the southwest. The site is located near Natchez Trace Parkway , about 10 miles northeast of Natchez, Mississippi milepost Exit parkway at the Route intersection; follow signs to the mound, about one mile.
Grand Village of the Natchez Indians — These three platform mounds, an adjacent ceremonial plaza, and associated habitation areas mark the political and religious capital of the Natchez Indian chiefdom of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. A number of French colonists who witnessed the use of the mounds at Grand Village recorded their observations.
These 18th-century accounts offer a rare firsthand glimpse of mound ceremonialism, by then, a nearly extinct holdover tradition from the pre-contact period. Within the temple, a sacred perpetual fire was kept burning day and night. Mound A, at the north end of the site, apparently was no longer in use by the time European chroniclers arrived.
The mounds, which stand about eight feet high, rose in several stages as the structures that stood on top of them were demolished and rebuilt in accordance with the ceremony. Elaborate funeral ceremonies for the Natchez elite were conducted on the mound plaza. These rituals included the sacrifice of relatives and servants of the deceased.
Natchez pottery vessels, as well as European trade goods obtained from the French, accompanied the dead. Two of the burials may have been those of the Great Sun, whose death in is mentioned in historical sources, and his brother and war chief, Tattooed Serpent, whose funeral was recorded in detail by the French. Increasing French confiscation of Indian lands led to the rapid deterioration of Natchez-French relations following the death of the Great Sun.
The Natchez attacked nearby Fort Rosalie in , killing most of the French garrison there. In response, the French organized a retaliatory expedition in They and their Choctaw Indian allies occupied the Grand Village, using the location to lay siege to the Natchez, who had withdrawn into stockaded fortifications to the south.
This confrontation marked the beginning of the destruction of the Natchez as a nation. Although the siege failed to force their surrender, the Natchez permanently abandoned their traditional territory as a result of it. Fewer than of the Natchez eventually were captured by the French and sold into slavery in the West Indies. The remainder escaped to join other tribes as refugees. Today, people of Natchez descent live among the Creek and Cherokee Indians.
The museum exhibits artifacts excavated from the site and sponsors public education events and activities. It is located in Natchez, Mississippi. Turn east off US Hwy. Prentiss Dr. Proceed on Jefferson Davis Blvd. It is open Monday-Saturday am to pm, and Sunday pm to pm, free admission. Nanih Waiya Mound and Village — This large rectangular platform mound, measuring 25 feet high, feet long, and feet wide owned by the Choctaw tribe.
A long, raised embankment once enclosed the site. Most of this earthen enclosure has been destroyed by cultivation, but, a short segment remains along the edge of a swamp to the northwest of the large mound.
The period of construction of Nanih Waiya Mound is uncertain. Although its rectangular, flat-topped form is typical of Mississippian period mounds to A. By the 18th century Nanih Waiya had come to be venerated by the tribe. In August 18, , the mound was deeded to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, a federally recognized tribe. Regaining their sacred place, they declared August 18 as a tribal holiday to mark the return of the mound, and have used the occasion for telling and performances of dances and stories of their origin and history.
The site is located northeast of Philadelphia, Mississippi. Drive about 15 miles on State Hwy 21, turn left at the Nanih Waiya sign on State Highway and continue north three miles to the mound. Jaketown — Two prominent flat-topped rectangular mounds are present at the Jaketown site. Mound B, the largest, measures about by feet at its base and is 23 feet high.
On its eastern side, a projecting bulge marks a ramp once used as a stairway. Mound C, northwest of B, is about 15 feet high. While neither mound has been excavated, distinctively styled pottery fragments found in the surrounding area indicate that the mounds are probably Mississippian period earthworks, dating to between and A. Both mounds presumably had ceremonial temples or elite residences on their summits. The two remaining large mounds are owned and protected by the state of Mississippi.
The Jaketown site is located on the west side of State Highway 7, about four miles north of Belzoni, Mississippi. There are no on-site visitor accommodations, and the mounds are covered with dense underbrush. For safety, the mounds should be viewed from the highway only. Winterville — The Winterville site complex consists of flat-topped, rectangular ceremonial mounds of various sizes. The mounds are arranged around a acre plaza, at the center of which is the foot-high Mound A, the largest at the site.
There are no extensive village remains, indicating that the site was occupied mainly during ceremonies. It is likely that only members of the social elite, such as chiefs, priests, and their retainers, were permanent residents of the site.
Nevertheless, this mound group remains one of the largest and best-preserved in the southeastern United States. In recognition of its outstanding significance, the Winterville site has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
Most of the mounds at the Winterville site were constructed during the Mississippian period, between and A. This intensive time of mound-building reflects contact between local Indians of the Coles Creek culture and influences emanating from the great Cahokia site in Illinois, the largest mound center in the United States. Archeological excavations were conducted at Winterville in The finds included structural remains, burials, and many ceramic and stone artifacts.
From this evidence, the history of the site was reconstructed. The Winterville museum exhibits a large collection of archeological artifacts, including decorated pottery vessels, stone tools, and ornaments from Winterville and other regional sites.
The site is located on State Hwy 1, about six miles north of Greenville,. The museum is open Monday-Saturday. The mounds are open every day, dawn to dusk. Like Owl Creek, this was once a special place for Native Americans , who built a ceremonial mound where the lake now stands. A small mound commemorating the site has been reconstructed near an overlook to the lake.
The lake is located about 9 miles southeast of Holly Springs.
