The Reporters Who Made Devil Anse Famous
By Thomas Dotson
October 8, 2013

t. c. crawford
The light bulb shown here was invented by a man whose name was Theron Clark Crawford. Crawford was also the co-inventor of something much more lasting than was his light bulb-The Hatfield and McCoy Feud!

Crawford visited Logan, West Virginia in 1888. He also penetrated the wilds of Island Creek for a visit with Devil Anse Hatfield.

This essay, in its entirety, can be read in my book, “Lies, Damned Lies, and Feud Tales.” https://www.amazon.com/dp/1977716814/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511238586&sr=1-1&keywords=Lies%2C+Damned+Lies%2C+and+Feud+Tales

Yellow journalist
T.C. Crawford was a yellow journalist who interviewed Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield during the Hatfield-McCoy feud in 1888. Crawford's stories were serialized in a New York newspaper and later published in book form1. The miniseries recounts the famous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys, starting during the Civil War in 1863 and extending into the early years of The Reconstruction2.
