Hatfields at war with McCoys in new miniseries

MINNEAPOLIS -- Next time you think about storming over to your neighbors' house to complain about their loud music, take a break -- a six-hour break -- to watch History Channel's "Hatfields & McCoys," an exhaustive re-creation of one of the most famous feuds in American history.

The battle, which began in the aftermath of the Civil War in West Virginia and Kentucky, has been referenced in everything from Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" to Waylon Jennings' "Luckenbach, Texas," but it's largely been dismissed as a squabble over a stolen pig between two clans of hillbillies.
