A Look at Matewan (2) Hatfield McCoy Feud/Matewan Massacre

[itsme716]

Interesting. It's nice to hear from someone who lived in that immediate area and not just a fan of the stories and movies. Thanks.

The train adds a cool feeling to this video. I am a Northerner, and hearing the history and the accent makes me want to visit. The speaker is a natural story teller. Great Video!

Hey there Tommy, I really enjoyed the videos you posted. Checked out quite a few of them , but not all of them as there are so many. Really liked your bluegrass segment and the dobro work on Great Speckled Bird, it was so enjoyable to listen to. It reminded me of years ago when we use to sit in our old homeplace growing up and playing those old tunes.

Great tour! Matewan's history is amazing especially through the 20's and early 30's! Thanks again for the street view tour and a brief synopsis of its history!

I was born and raised in Matewan, and my dad owned the Silver Dollar when it was across the tracks from Main Street. It was good to see the place again. It's changed a lot since I was last there in 1997 or so.

I love Matewan.. didnt know you were from there. That is great... I am a born and raised west virginian. Been here all my life.. This is surely God's contry. This is surely a good place to learn some WV History. You told things here that even I didn't know. Thank you for posting CountyBoy Yes!!! God bless!!!
