The Feud
For more than a century, the enduring feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys has been American shorthand for passionate, unyielding, and even violent confrontation. Yet despite numerous articles, books, television shows, and feature films, nobody has ever told the in-depth true story of this legendarily fierce-and far-reaching-clash in the heart of Appalachia.

The Pillar of the Mountain
Between 1937-41, the tragic past of the fullback for the University of Kentucky football team was a guarded secret. No one was sure where he had come from. And no one knew why he never spoke about his family. All they knew was that Claude Hammond was extremely tough. Claude was an orphan from a mean Appalachian coal town. He witnessed his own mother's murder and lived on the streets before being taken in by distant family members. He knew, somehow, that he was his family's only hope for a future. Through courage and sheer determination, Claude transformed his own life and the lives of his family members, putting his own children as well as nieces and nephews through college. He was a catalyst, transforming a family from tragedy and poverty to education and prosperity. Claude kept his past a secret, even from his own children. As a college student in the 1970s, the author discovered the shocking facts about his father's childhood. How Claude overcame tragedy is an inspiring story.

Yet by blending an old-school brand of baseball with modern analytics, they managed to sneak into the playoffs and put together the most unlikely postseason run in baseball history. Not only did they beat the Houston Astros, the team with the best regular-season record, to claim the franchise’s first championship—they won all four games in Houston, making them the f...
