Bloody Breathitt delivers a good, clean shot, slaying longstanding myths about white mountaineers and internecine conflict in the decades after the Civil War. Corrupt politicians, northern industrialist powers, and bloodthirsty newspapers play central roles in this drama of whiteness and intraracial violence, which unfolds on a stage of massive social and cultural dislocations set by modernization and rapid economic change. This is one of those rare studies which will satisfy sociologists, anthropologists, and historians alike., Hutton's local history is insightful, and his compelling arguments will certainly intrigue scholars., Hutton's engaging and brilliant analysis [... ] makes major contributions to both Appalachian and Southern history., The research and insights Hutton presents provide a fresh look at a topic of renewed interest for historians and general audiences alike. By highlighting the real motivations for violence in Breathitt County, Hutton links the county to the larger themes of racial and political violence in the United States. This work gives evidence that the residents of Breathitt County were not living in a world apart or with barbaric values but instead faced the same modern struggles of those living in urban and rural areas, North and South. This work should stand as a new foundation for interpreting the meaning of violence in Kentucky and in Appalachia., "The book does an excellent job of framing the violence within the political climate of the time as well as underscoring Breathitt County's importance to Kentucky, the South, and the United States--reminding us that political stability has come at a price." -- Kentucky Kaleidoscope, A very high quality work of history and politics that will serve as a standard for comparison.

Synopsis
The notorious conflict between the Hatfield and the McCoy families of West Virginia and Kentucky is often remembered as America's most famous feud, but it was relatively brief and subdued compared to the violence in Breathitt County, Kentucky. From the Reconstruction period until the early twentieth century, Breathitt's 500 square miles of rugged upcountry land was known as "the darkest and bloodiest of all the dark and bloody feud counties" due to its considerable number of homicides, which wer, The notorious conflict between the Hatfield and the McCoy families of West Virginia and Kentucky is often remembered as America's most famous feud, but it was relatively brief and subdued compared to the violence in Breathitt County, Kentucky. From the Reconstruction period until the early twentieth century, Breathitt's 500 square miles of rugged upcountry land was known as "the darkest and bloodiest of all the dark and bloody feud counties" due to its considerable number of homicides, which were not always related to the factional conflicts that swept the region. In Bloody Breathitt , T. R. C. Hutton casts a critical eye on this territory for the first time. He carefully investigates instances of individual and mass violence in the county from the Civil War through the Progressive era, exploring links between specific incidents and broader national and regional events. Although the killings were typically portrayed as depoliticized occurrences, Hutton explains how their causes and implications often reflected distinctly political intentions. By framing the incidents as "feuds," those in positions of authority disguised politically motivated murders by placing them in a fictive past, preventing outsiders from understanding the complex reality. This meticulously researched volume offers the first comprehensive narrative of the violence in this infamous Kentucky county, examining Breathitt's brutal history and its significance to the state, the South, and the nation. While the United States has enjoyed unparalleled longevity as a republic, Hutton's timely study reminds readers that the nation's political stability has had a tremendous cost in terms of bloodshed., This meticulously researched volume offers the first comprehensive narrative of the violence in this infamous Kentucky county, examining Breathitt's brutal history and its significance to the state, the South, and the nation.
