Some primary sources for the Hatfield and McCoy feud include court documents, newspaper articles from the time period, personal letters or diaries written by those involved, and official government records. These sources provide firsthand accounts of the events and perspectives of the people involved in the feud.
Historians study the past by analyzing written records, documents, and artifacts to understand past events. Archaeologists study the past by excavating and analyzing physical remains like pottery, tools, and structures to reconstruct past societies. Anthropologists study human culture and society, often focusing on traditional lifeways, beliefs, and customs passed down through generations.
Some common methods used to investigate the past include archaeological excavations, historical research through written records and documents, radiocarbon dating to determine the age of artifacts, and genetic analysis to trace human migration patterns. These methods help researchers gain insights into past civilizations, cultures, and events.

National Archive of Scotland website: A document is any piece of written information in any form, produced or received by an organisation or person. It can include databases, website, email messages, word and excel files, letters, and memos. Some of these documents will be ephemeral or of very short-term value and should never end up in a records management system (such as invitations to lunch). Some documents will need to be kept as evidence of business transactions, routine activities or as a result of legal obligations, such as policy documents. These should be placed into an official filing system and at this point, they become official records. In other words, all records start off as documents, but not all documents will ultimately become records.
