I'm a bit taken with the History Channel's
Hatfields & McCoys. I know that the film makers are taking a bit of artistic liberty with the events. That's okay. I thought I'd see what the newspapers of the day were saying, so I visited
Chronicling America. I did a
search for Hatfield McCoy and came up with 290 hits. The paragraph from 1882 is the first mention that I could find. There are articles about the feud at that site until 1921.

There are too many good articles to share, but here's a link to an interesting interview with "Cap" Hatfield with photos of some of the participants.
