Appalachian and Logan Couny historian, the late Dr. Coleman C. Hatfield, 
grandson of Cap Hatfield, was raised on raucous and spine-tingling 
stories of Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield and the Hatfield and McCoy 
feud. 
  
From the time he was three or four years old, he said he heard vivid 
stories about his famous great-grandpa, Devil Anse, wrestling black bears 
and successfully tracking whitetail deer..., panthers and `coons through 
the most primitive regions of mountain country by horseback.
  
"When a young 'un didn't want to go to bed he could ask the adults to 
tell him a story and he'd get to stay up a little longer," Coleman once 
told a West Virginia reporter. As he explained, the colorful and 
action-packed stories were never disappointing.
