I watched all 3 episodes and did a fair mount of research after watching the first episode. I was amazed at how accurate they actually were baed on historical records.
Quote:A lot of important stuff missing. I figured they would Hollywood it. No mention of union battles, no mention of coal, no courthouse steps murders. I'm a little disappointed. The Hollywood version of a true story is usually disappointing when you read into the history books instead of the script.
In my research, I didn't find anything on "courthouse step murders" or "coal". The Hatfields were actually in the timber business not coal.
I was also amazed at how they found actors that closely resembled the real life person.
