About this audiobook
Kentucky has suffered from an extremely bad reputation, and these recordings of feuds, tragedies and vendettas - the most notorious being that of the Hatfield and McCoys - puts the listener right into it! The New York Times of July 26, 1885 had this to say of the state and its people: "The savages who inhabit this region are not manly enough to fight fairly, face to face. They lie in wait and shoot their enemies in the back... One can hardly believe that any part of the United States is cursed with people so lawless and degraded."
