The
Coffin Quilt: The Feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys
by Ann Rinaldi
Historical Fiction
Feuds among the mountain folks of West Virginia and Kentucky, particularly
the bloody skirmishes between the Hatfield and McCoy families, are often
celebrated in American legend and folksongs. In The Coffin Quilt, Ann Rinaldi
mines this rich vein of Americana for a fascinating tale that closely follows
the real events of the Hatfield-McCoy feud, but which also has implications
for our own violent times. Rinaldi--known for Cast Two Shadows, An Acquaintance
with Darkness, and other historical fiction novels for teens--suggests
in her author's note that "the Civil War conditioned men who fought in
it to kill and to hate." Consequently, men came home from the war to their
mountains with minds and rifles primed to react to the slightest trespass
upon their exaggerated loyalty to kinfolk. The story is told by Fanny,
the youngest of the fourteen McCoy children, who traces the beginnings
of the famous feud to a confused Civil War shooting and a dispute over
a herd of pigs. When her favorite older sister, the beautiful Roseanna,
runs off with handsome Johnse Hatfield, it's like a bucket of gasoline
thrown on the smoldering hatred between the two families. Warned by the
apparition she calls Yeller Thing, Fanny is nonetheless a helpless witness
to ambushes and killings, burials and retribution. Too late she realizes
that Roseanna's obsession with sewing a traditional but gruesome coffin-decorated
quilt is a sign of her evil attraction to deliberately stoking the fires
of the feud--providing a psychological thriller ending for this dramatic
tale of hillbilly love and revenge. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell
