Summary: Good work John Ed Pearce
Review: Being the descendant of the Eversoles It was great to see this book get the kind of coverage it recieved. Mr. Pearce has done a wonderful job by interviewing hundreds of descendants of the patriarchs of the feuds. It no wonder he received the pulitzer prize!!! I enjoyed the book a great deal and have recommended it to everyone I know doing Eastern Kentucky research.

Review: Good book for geneology work. This book had refrences to my family in Eastern Kentucky which I thought was cool. I met the Author at a bookstore here in Lexington, KY and spoke to him about the book.

Summary: A useful overview
Review: Though very useful as an overview of a fascinating glimpse into Kentucky history, I found this book a disappointment. In the place of any careful social and historical analysis, we often get only rudimentary personal opinions as to the motives and rationales of the pricinpals involved.
