Considered by many to be one of the deadliest men in the west,
claiming to have killed 42 men, John Wesley Hardin was also one of
the most controversial men in the West. "The Letters of John Wesley
Hardin," helps to reveal the man behind the myth, These personal
writings of Hardin and his family, provide a detailed account of
his capture, imprisonment, his family relationships, his religious
beliefs, his transformation from criminal to lawyer and his pardon
by Texas Governor James Hogg. A total of 281 personal letters from
the legendary John Wesley Hardin, and from his wife, family, and
closest friends, organized and transcribed by the authors from the
special collections at the Albert B. Alkek Library at Southwest
Texas State University in San Marcos. Special permission was
granted to use these letters in the book. The letters begin
September 8, 1876, to his wife, Jane, and end July 28, 1895, with a
letter to Hardin from his friend J.D. Hargis. The letters are all
reproduced as written, with misspellings and the language of the
day. The text opens with a brief biography of Hardin, who began his
killing spree at the age of fifteen. Most of the letters were
written from the Huntsville penitentiary, where Hardin spent more
than fifteen years. He was shot to death in El Paso in a gun battle
with Constable John Selman.
