Noted Historian To Speak At Hatfield McCoy Reunion Festival
On Friday, June 13, noted Kentucky historian Jim Prichard will visit during Pike County’s Hatfield-McCoy Weekend Festival to talk about the nationally known feud that has captured America’s attention for more than a century.
Prichard, the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives Research Room Supervisor, is one of the most highly regarded historians in the state, and a gift to those who will have a chance to hear him speak about Pike County’s famous feud, says local genealogy expert Betty Howard.
“I’ve heard Mr. Prichard speak on a number of occasions, and we couldn’t be more lucky to have him for this,” says Howard. “He’s probably the leading historian in the state at this point.”
Prichard will visit Pikeville to speak at length about the Hatfield-McCoy Feud, a subject that is unique in Kentucky’s
