Country connections

On the Country Music Highway U.S. 23: Birthplace of some of country music’s finest talent W hat do one dozen , nationally and internationally known, legendary country music stars have in common?

They were all born along Kentucky’s U.S. 23.

Known officially as the Country Music Highway, the road that stretches along Kentucky’s eastern border connecting Ohio at the north and Virginia at the south, keeps churning out a seemingly endless stream of country music stars like Billy Ray Cyrus, the Judds, Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, Dwight Yoakam, Patty Loveless, Crystal Gayle, Hylo Brown and Larry Cordle, just to name a few.

U.S. 23 takes country music fans on a tour of their favorite stars’ homeplaces and offers day trippers a great variety of family activities.

The 150-mile stretch of the four-lane highway meanders from Greenup County, Ky., to the Virginia border taking travelers through the hometowns of 12 wellknown entertainers, including Billy Ray Cyrus, Naomi and Wynonna Judd, Ricky Skaggs, sisters Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle, Hylo Brown, Dwight Yoakam, Patty Loveless, Gary Stewart, Tom T. Hall and Keith Whitley.

Attractions along the drive give fans a chance to peer into country music’s history and the opportunity to take in the scenic beauty of Appalachia in Kentucky.

If you stop in Loretta

Lynnn’s and Crystal Gayle’s homeplace of Butcher Hollow off U.S. 23 and Ky. 302 near Van Lear, Ky., you might even get a personal tour of their childhood cabin from their brother, Herman Webb, who owns the Van Lear General Store and welcomes fans and visitors.

And don’t forget to check out the Mountain Home Place and the Country Music Highway Museum, both in Paintsville, and the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg.

The famous entertainers are noted along the trail on a rectangular brown highway sign erected in their home counties.

History lesson

Feud facts revealed The real story of the Hatfields & McCoys

Hardly any person in America can hear the name “Hatfield” without thinking “McCoy.” This most infamous feud in American folklore happened right in the Tri-State’s back yard.

The 2012 release of the History channel’s “Hatfields & McCoys” miniseries, starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, has sparked a renewed interest in the saga.

You can find in the pages of the Tri-State Visitors’ Guide several feud-related attractions, activities and festivals.

But before you go exploring, here’s a tutorial on what really happened in the hills of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.

The feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky had its roots in the Civil War and continued through 1981. The feud was led by patriarchs William “Devil Anse” Hatfield and Randolph McCoy. Here are some key events in the feud: THe CiVil waR: Both William “Devil Anse” Hatfield and Randolph McCoy were Confederates and were both along in a raid that killed Union Gen. Bill France in the fall of 1863. That raid sparked into action the Kentucky homeguards who were sent

to take Devil Anse and his men. One of France’s men, Asa Harmon McCoy (Randall’s brother), came after Anse in revenge. He camped out in a rock house near his home. Anse found out and sent his Uncle Jim Vance and Jim Wheeler Wilson, a fellow soldier, to confront McCoy. It is believed that one of those men shot and killed Asa McCoy. CouRT oRDeRs: A couple of court decisions helped to fuel the feud. In the late 1870s, Devil Anse Hatfield got into a land dispute with McCoy’s cousin Perry Cline. Anse won the land dispute and was granted Cline’s entire 5,000-acre plot of land. A few months after the verdict,

Randolph McCoy stopped to visit Floyd Hatfield, a cousin of Devil Anse. While visiting, McCoy saw a hog that he said bore the McCoy marking on its ear. Hatfield denied the accusation and the two were hauled into court with Preacher Anderson Hatfield (a Baptist preacher and justice of the peace) to settle the suit. Both Hatfields and McCoys served as jurors. Randolph’s nephew Bill Staton, also a brother-inlaw of Eillison Hatfield, swore that Floyd Hatfield owned the hog. Floyd won the case.

On June 18, 1880, Staton was killed in a shootout with Paris and Sam McCoy, who were sent to prison for their crime.

Ellison Hatfield testified at that trial.

RoMeo anD JulieT: Two months after the killing of Staton, Devil Anse’s son, Johnse met Roseanna McCoy, the daughter of Randolph McCoy, at an 1880 Election Day event. They became lovers, but Randolph did not approve. When she went to be with Johnse in West Virginia, a posse of McCoys rode to the cabin, took Johnse prisoner and set out for the Pikeville jail. Roseanna told Devil Anse, who gathered his own crew to cut off the McCoys and rescue his son. After that, the couple remained apart. Roseanna would give birth to their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth McCoy, in the spring of 1881.

The baby died of measles

History lesson later that year. Johnse Hatfield, who would be married four times in his life, met Nancy McCoy (the daughter of Asa Harmon McCoy, who had been killed by the Hatfields) and they were married on May 14, 1881.

Trouble aT The polls: On Aug. 5, 1882, it was Election Day and at the polls on Blackberry Creek, Ellison Hatfield a fight with Tolbert McCoy (Randolph’s son). Tolbert’s two younger brothers, Pharmer and Randolph Jr., jumped in the fight with knives, and Pharmer McCoy shot Ellison. haTfields burn wiTh revenge: Preacher Anse Hatfield ordered constables to take the McCoy brothers to the Pikeville jail to face charges. They stopped at Floyd McCoy’s house for food and decided to spend the night further up Blackberry Creek. Devil Anse Hatfield found out and the next morning arrived on the scene, and a posse of nearly 20 family and friends took charge of the McCoy boys. When Ellison died, Devil Anse he crossed into Kentucky, tied the boys to paw paw trees and the group of men executed the boys who had killed Ellison.

Governors get involved: Hoping to leave no witnesses, the Hatfields raided the McCoy cabin in the dark of morning on New Year’s Day 1888. A firefight ensued, killing Randolph McCoy’s daughter Alifair and son Calvin. The raiders burned Randolph’s cabin to the ground. Randolph, his wife Sarah and the children escaped.

The murders of the McCoys caused Kentucky’s governor Simon Buckner to unleash special officer Frank Phillips and 38 men to arrest the nearly 20 men and put out a special reward which brought a slew of bounty hunters to come after the Hatfields. Phillips captured several of those men, and Phillips shot and killed Uncle Jim Vance on Jan. 10, 1888.

On Jan. 19, a large firefight between Phillips and his men and Devil Anse Hatfield and his men happened, since known as the Battle of Grapevine Creek. Although no one was killed in the fight, it prompted Devil Anse to order 25 new Winchester repeating rifles to prepare for future attacks.

The raids brought the ire of West Virginia Gov. E. Willis Wilson, and many thought there might be another Civil War break out along the Tug Fork between factions in the two states. Both states ordered their National Guard units to prepare to defend their borders.

West Virginia’s governor sued Kentucky for the unlawful arrest of nine prisoners and unsuccessfully appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court in April 1888. The court ruled the Hatfields would have to stand trial in Kentucky whether or not the original arrest by Phillips were legal. Elison Mounts was hanged on Feb. 18, 1890, for the shooting of Alifair and Calvin McCoy, and the rest were given life sentences for their roles in killing the three McCoy brothers.
