Brandy Station Foundation Lecture Series

Special Guest Speakers – Reo Hatfield II & Ron McCoy:

“The Hatfields and the McCoys – From Civil War to Family Feud”

PLEASE NOTE LOCATION: Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Hall, 19601 Church Rd, Brandy Station, VA 22714

Brandy Station, VA – The names of speakers Reo Hatfield II and Ron McCoy are instantly recognizable because of the world-famous feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. However, in 2003, Reo and Ron signed the historic Hatfield-McCoy truce, which was broadcast live on national television. That document would be a formal truce ending all hostilities, implied, inferred, and real between the Hatfields and the McCoys. This free talk will include the Hatfield family’s military service during the Civil War and the years-long feud between the families.

We look forward to hearing the true story behind the family feud. Please come prepared to hear answers to many of your questions. There will be a book signing after the event.

Reo B. Hatfield II is the President and CEO of Prince Michel Vineyard, Brewery, and Winery in Leon, Virginia. He is a former Vice Mayor, City Councilman and Planning Commissioner member of Waynesboro, VA, as well as a retired Chief of Police of Waynesboro. Hatfield also served for two years in Korea with the U.S. Army as a Sergeant and is a private pilot. Hatfield is best known nationally for the historic Hatfield-McCoy Truce, which officially ended the infamous Hatfield and McCoy feud. On June 14, 2003, in a televised event on The CBS Early Show, Reo Hatfield, along with Ron McCoy and Bo McCoy, signed the truce live before an estimated 3.5 million viewers. The signing symbolized a new era of unity, demonstrating that even one of the world’s most famous feuding families could come together as one American family.Ron McCoy is the great-great-great-grandson of Randolph McCoy, patriarch of the family at the time of the feud. He helped organize the first national reunion of the Hatfields and McCoys in 2000. In 2003, he was one of the principal signers of the historic Hatfield-McCoy truce. He is the author of Reunion, a book which chronicles the reconciliation of the Hatfields and McCoys and one man’s journey to discover his family heritage in the shadow of America’s most famous feud.
