Thus spoke one lawman about John Wesley Hardin, easily the most
feared and fearless of all the gunfighters in the West. Nobody
knows the exact number of his victims-perhaps as few as twenty or
as many as fifty. In his way of thinking, Hardin never shot a man
who did not deserve it. Seeking to gain insight into Hardin's
homicidal mind, Leon Metz describes how Hardin's bloody career
began in post-Civil War Central Texas, when lawlessness and
killings were commonplace, and traces his life of violence until
his capture and imprisonment in 1878. After numerous unsuccessful
escape attempts, Hardin settled down and received a pardon years
later in 1895. He wrote an autobiography but did not live to see it
published. Within a few months of his release, John Selman gunned
him down in an El Paso saloon.
