brings to almost any American mind the Hatfields and McCoys, few people actually know much about the legendary blood feud. &nbsp;Dean King has pursued the subject in great detail and at personal peril, having been shot at in the wilds of Appalachia in the course of his research. &nbsp;In the process, he notes that he &ldquo;rode on ATVs with the Hatfields up onto the ridges where they once hid out and explored the &lsquo;angry gene&rsquo; with the McCoys.&rdquo; &nbsp;In his talk he will, in his words, &ldquo;show images, old and new, from both sides&hellip;.The story busts some of the legends of yore but&mdash;as we all know&mdash;sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.&rdquo;<\/p><h2 style=\"color: #b81237;font-family: MuseoSlab;font-weight: 900\">Lecture
