This photo, owned by Ron G. Blackburn, shows my great great uncle, Ransom Hatfield, near the end of his life. This is how he looked when I delivered his newspapers from 1952-55. He is sitting on the porch of the ancestral Hatfield home, where he spent his entire life. That is the house where Ransom told me that there never was a trial of Floyd Hafield for stealing a hog from Ran’l McCoy.
I spent many hours leaning against that porch post and listening to REAL history from the man in that old metal chair.
This story can be read in my book, “Lies, Damned Lies, and Feud Tales.” https://tinyurl.com/ycqlg3oy
