Clay County Wars: Jan 10th 9pm- 10pm
Jan 11th 1am-2am
Jan 13th 5pm-6pm
Welcome to Clay County, Kentucky, home to the deadliest feud east of the
Mississippi. What started as rivalry between two powerful families escalated
into a blood bath that spilled into various towns as folks took sides. The
lawlessness that plagued the county for over 100 years and claimed as many as
150 people finally caused its collapse as people fled for their lives. Today,
Clay County is peaceful, but graveyards scar the hillsides--grim reminders of
a past never forgotten, nor perhaps forgiven! TV PG

Hands on History- Coal
Jan 9th 8:30 pm- 9pm
Jan 10th 12:30 am - 1pm
Jan 19th 7:30 pm - 8pm
Ron Hazelton digs down deep to put his hands on a piece of history millions
of years in the making--coal--in the heart of American coal country. At the
center of coal mining for nearly a century, during its peak Harlan County,
Kentucky, was home to more than 50 coal towns. Armed with pickaxe and
lantern, Ron goes back in time through Portal 31, the town of Lynch's primary
mine, as he mines by hand. Next, he drops in on a nearby mine to see how
modern equipment has revolutionized the industry. TV G

Benjamin Bratt narrates a 2-hour special that combines the history and
mystery of names with a genealogical search. Traveling from ancient China to
medieval Europe, from Africa to the Wild West, we search through slavery, the
Indian Wars, and the great wave of U.S. immigration. As actor William Baldwin
and "Braveheart" screenwriter Randall Wallace trace their family trees, we
learn the genealogist's tools and look to the future. Can we move beyond
written records to prehistoric times?
