For many years, there was a fued between the Hatfield's & McCoy families beginning in the early 1860's through 1891 when the fued finally came to an end. Do you know Why or How it came to an end.

Your question intrigued me, because I couldn't remember if I'd ever heard the reason it ended. I looked for the information and found and article about Henry McCoy, one of the grandsons of the feuding families. He says the fight started over hogs and ended with a marriage. (An earlier marriage only fueled the fighting, if the article's facts are accurate!) The article is available at http://www.texnews.com/news/mccoys091996.html
