In an era and an area notable for badmen and gunslingers, John
Wesley Hardin was perhaps the most notorious. Considered by many of
his contemporaries to be almost illiterate, he nevertheless left
for publication after his death in 1895 this autobiography, which,
though biased, is remarkably accurate and readable.
Hardin was born in 1853 in Bonham, Texas, the son of a Methodist
preacher. His first brush with the law came at the age of fifteen
when he killed a Negro during an altercation typical of the
strife-torn Reconstruction era. In the ten years between his first
killing in 1868 and his final capture and imprisonment, he killed
more than a score of men in personal combat and became the "most
wanted" fugitive of his time.
