  THE EVENTS of the Hatfield-McCoy feud and the context in which it occurred must be reconstructed from widely scattered sources. There is not a single important body of personal papers. The John L. Spivak Papers in the West Virginia Collection of the West Virginia University Library contain records of interviews with several participants in the feuds, and a copy of one letter from Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield to Perry A. Cline is in the Special Collections of the University of Kentucky Library. The West Virginia Collection also contains a typescript, "The Feuding Hatfields," by Coleman Hatfield.
  Public archives are of somewhat more value. At the Logan County, West Virginia, Courthouse may be found Logan County Land Books, and those for the years from 1866 through 1892, in particular, shed much light on the holdings of the Hatfield family. There, too, may be found Deed Books B, E, F, G, I, and L, which provide data on Hatfield land transactions, and Law Order Books A and B, which give insights into Hatfield infractions of the law quite apart from the troubles with the McCoys. Pike County, Kentucky, Deed Books B, E, G, L, #2, and #5 shed similar light upon the economic situation of the leading members of the McCoy family.
  Of utmost importance in understanding the relations between the Hatfield and McCoy families during the Civil War and through the 1870s are the Pike County Circuit Court Records, now in the Special Collections division of the University of Kentucky Library, as well as Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from Virginia: Forty-fifth Battalion, Infantry, Microcopy No. 324, Roll No. 891, in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. Material on the trials of the Hatfields and their partisans in the murders of the McCoys are available in the records of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in the Kentucky Division of Archives and Records, Frankfort. Records of the contescs between Kentucky and West Virginia in the United States District Court, the United States Circuit Court, and the United States Supreme Court are in the National Archives, Washington, D.C.
