I didn't know what this was until today. According to Wikipedia, it's such a famous event in American history, it's entered the lexicon as a way to refer to a long-running dispute. So...have you heard of it? Also, if you have, what do you think of it?

it's pretty much the most infamous feud between families in US history, and has made its way into popular culture.

The re-enactment miniseries about it that came out a few years back was really good.

Yes and by the way it was exaggerated and spurred on by media influences who used the events to paint Appelachians as uncivilized hicks. The famous photo where they all pose with their guns was orchestrated by the media for example.

Yes.

I assumed everybody had passing knowledge. It's just one of those things like the OK Corral that basically everyone has heard of even if the details are light or inaccurate.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Yeah, It was Bill Paxton's final role. Kevin Costner was great in it too.
