Could this be another fantasy from the "Hysteria" channel?  Will there be actual history?

[Unkle Sherman]

A man stops to ask directions from a farmer sitting on his porch and is amazed to see a three-legged pig sitting at the farmer's feet. "That's a weird-looking pig," the man says.

The farmer is furious. "Don't you ever say anything bad about this pig!" he says. "Just last week my wife and I were sleeping, and a fire broke out. This pig dragged us both to safety. Last month a robber broke into the house. The pig knocked him down, dialed 911 with his snout and sat on him until the police arrived. So don't ever say anything bad about him."

"I'm sorry," the man says. "But what's the deal with the three legs?"

"Mister," the farmer says, "a pig like this you don't eat all at once."

Actually, the feuding was not just over a pig..Myths and realities of the feud

I recently read a book on the feud and it was far more complicated than a simple blood fued. By this time the families we inter-married and you had Hatfields siding with McCoys and McCoys siding with Hatfields. It was a time when Northern investors where coming to the area to exploit resouces, mostly timber. It was primarily and economic struggle. What surprised me more than anything was how the participants attempted to abide by the law and how often they turned to the courts in an effort to settle a dispute rather than grabbing a gun as history would have us believe. I hope the program does the story justice and presents the truth.
