6:00 p.m.

Audubon Campground Shelter

Arguably, the most famous and bitter family feud, waged between the Kentucky McCoys and the West Virginia Hatfields, spurred deep disputes in the late 1800s between these two states before eventually going before the Supreme Court.  This demonstration of family and regional pride led to losses on both sides.  Transport yourself to post-Civil War Appalachia with John Tierney.
