At Hardy, Kentucky, in a mountain valley, Randal McCoy's well still stands at the site associated with the Hatfield-McCoy feud and the New Year's Day 1888 attack on the McCoy home. Accounts cited from G. Elliot Hatfield's The Hatfields say that Jim Vance and several armed Hatfields agreed that Randal McCoy would die that night, surrounded the house, and fired the first shot, leading to an exchange of gunfire and the burning of the McCoy home. According to Truda Williams McCoy's The McCoy's, the family used up its water and milk trying to put out the fire, and Calvin McCoy called to his sister Alifair to draw water from the well so he could quench the flames. As she approached the well, she was shot and killed; when Sarah McCoy tried to reach her daughter, she was attacked and beaten until she lost consciousness. Calvin then tried to help his father escape, fled from the house, and was shot in the head and killed. The violence brought stories of the feud to front-page newspapers across the country, and later productions, including the mini-series The Hatfield's and McCoy's, renewed interest in the feud and brought filming to the Randal McCoy home site.
