Meet the Author: Dean King
Join author and historian Dean King for a new look at the Hatfield and McCoy feud. King breaks new ground in his latest book, "The Feud: The Hatfields and McCoys, The True Story," with quotes from contemporary newspaper accounts and other information that was not available when Otis K. Rice wrote his account back in 1982. King's lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a book signing. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. King is an award-winning author of 10 books, including "Unbound: A True Story of War, Love and Survival," about 30 women who walked 4,000 miles across China with Mao Zedong in 1934. This project is being presented with financial assistance from the West Virginia Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any view, findings, conclusions or recommendations do not necessarily represent those of the West Virginia Humanities Council or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
