Feudin’ and Fightin’ Friday:  The Great Hopewell Frog War

Feudin’ and Fightin’ Friday: The Great Hopewell Frog War

by Sharon Hall | Oct 31, 2014 | Feudin' & Fightin' Friday

While doing some family research last week, I came across something called a “frog war”.  What’s a frog war?  I’ve done some “frog” stories, one called “The Battle of the Frogs” and one about an old horned toad named Rip, but this one isn’t about an amphibious...

Feudin’ and Fightin’ Friday: Colorados y Azules (Some Things Never Change)

Feuding’ and Fightin’ Friday: Spikes-Gholson Feud

by Sharon Hall | May 30, 2014 | Feudin' & Fightin' Friday

This family feud simmered quite awhile before it ended in the early 1900’s in eastern New Mexico, in an area now known as Quay County.  The feud began in east Texas during the Civil War when the two patriarchs of the Spikes and Gholson families crossed paths, or...

Feudin’ and Fightin’ Friday: Battle at the Sandbar

by Sharon Hall | May 9, 2014 | Feudin' & Fightin' Friday

This “battle” only lasted about ten minutes, and perhaps only receiving historical mention because from it emerged the legend of James “Jim” Bowie, expert knife-fighter, who less than a decade later famously perished at the Battle of the Alamo. James Bowie was born in...
