Gunman: A Story of John Wesley Hardin

By David Huffstetler

He was a devoted husband and father, who killed over forty men. Historians have called him everything from a patriot to a sociopath, but his story is as fascinating and complex as the man himself. John Wesley Hardin came to manhood in the heart of Reconstruction and in a place where the rebel spirit was yet to die. Hunted since he was fifteen, he never stopped looking for a place where he could live in peace and raise his family, even while his brother and cousins were hanged in his stead. Drawn into a blood feud not of his making, he earned a reputation that swept across Texas and beyond. Wes Hardin said he never shot a man who wasn't trying to kill him, and he bore five gunshot wounds to prove it. And, in all of it, he loved one woman, the girl who won his heart and kept him coming back to find her, even when it could cost him his life.
