The Feuding Truth

In our history of James Vance, within the Hatfield-McCoy feud, we share the cited sources, photographs, documents, and transcriptions, which are important and relevant in exposing the truth, and dispelling the myths regarding the feud in relationship to Jim Vance, and others. Many of these documents have never been written about in previous feud books. The primary goal with our book is to show the reader "the real" James Vance, not the "folklore" James Vance created by yellow journalist, then written about by writers and movie script writers who perpetuate those myths. Here, you read about his life, as it actually happened. For instance, did you know that in 1885-1887, James Vance once employed nearly fifty Tug residents in a timber business. We dispel the written folklore by giving true history!
