The Hatfield clan in 1897.
……….
I live about an hour from Pike county in Eastern Kentucky.  The so called feud means a lot to me because Perry Cline was a big part of the feud.  My aunt Irene Holbrook Cline was married to Perry Cline’s cousin French Cline.  I am looking forward to watching the 3 part  series on the History channel…Gary Holbrook-Editor
