The best known outlaw of pioneer Texas was John Wesley Hardin. He was a deadly gunman and acknowledged by his contemporaries as a man who wore his emotions on his sleeve and was not to be crossed. From an early age to his violet death with his boots on, he left behind a unique paper trail including an autobiography. These two authors have dug deep in that trail and come up with a definitive biography that no only accurately tells the saga of Hardin’s life, but also does it in a readable manner that puts his life in the context of the times.
