The Origins of the Feud

The feud began in 1854, when Everett Tutt and William King got into an argument over a hog. Tutt claimed that King's hog had trespassed on his property and damaged his crops. King denied the charges, and the two men began to argue. The argument quickly escalated into a fight, and both men were injured.

The fight between Tutt and King was just the beginning of a long and bloody feud. Over the next several years, the two families clashed repeatedly, and dozens of men were killed. The feud was particularly violent in the 1870s, when several members of the King family were killed in a series of ambushes.

The End of the Feud

The feud finally ended in 1890, when the last of the Tutts was killed. John Tutt, Everett's brother, was shot and killed by a member of the King family. John's death marked the end of the feud, and the two families finally made peace.
