Grangerford and Shepherdson are the family names of the two familes engaged in a feud.

Buck Grangerford explains the family feud to Huck. For over thirty years, the men in each family have been committed to killing off the men in the opposing family. No one remembers why the feud started, but several men have been killed each year.
