In vivid reality, here is the first person account of the various incidents that contributed to Hardin’s reputation as the master gunfighter of Texas. His personal account ends with his decision to study law while in Huntsville prison, but the story is rounded out by the inclusion of newspaper and eye-witness accounts of his death by John Selman at the Acme Saloon in El Paso.
