An action-packed historical portrayal of the most notorious, deadly gunfighter who ever lived, John Wesley Hardin. Hardin’s saga is a fantastic and fascinating tale. His career as a gunfighter began in 1868 when his life was threatened. Lightning fast, Hardin drew first blood when he was only 15 years old. The frontier became his stage - cattle drives, blood feuds, and gambling halls became his background. Anywhere John Wesley Hardin went and found himself in a situation, true to the Wild West code, he solved it with his quick-draw and deadly aim. A total of forty-two men were killed, and the last thing they saw was the flash of John Wesley Hardin’s guns. Living in Texas, he never knew when the Texas Rangers or some back-shooting bounty hunter would get him. He fell in love and married his hometown sweetheart, Jane Bowen. They had three children. Hardin tried to be a good husband and loving father. He was working on a cattle drive going up the Chisholm Trail, when he got into an argument with some Mexican vaqueros who tried to cut his herd. The argument soon got out of hand, and within minutes, six vaqueros died in the exchange. Five of them were reportedly shot by Hardin. The cattle drive arrived in Abilene, Kansas in August 1871, where carrying of guns within city limits was outlawed. Sheriff Wild Bill Hickok, noticed Hardin’s guns under his coat, and asked Hardin to “hand ‘em over”. Hardin, using an assumed name “Wesley Clemmons” complied, handles first then spinning them around leaving Hickok looking down the barrels of his guns. Hardin spun them around again, now to the handles and handed them over. Hickok was impressed; this incident kindled their friendship. Years passed, and gunfight after gunfight ensued. Hardin was credited for 40 kills. He was quoted claiming forty-two. On January 20, 1875 , the Texas Legislature authorized Governor Richard B. Hubbard to offer a $4,000 reward for the apprehension of John Wesley Hardin. The Texas Rangers finally caught up with Hardin on a train in Pensacola, Florida. He was taken to Austin, Texas, to stand trial for the killing of Brown County Sheriff Charley Webb, in Comanche, Texas. On September 28, 1878, Hardin was sentenced to 25 years. He served 15 years of his sentence, studying law while in prison. He was released from prison on February 17, 1894. John Wesley Hardin was forty years old when he returned to Gonzales, Texas. On July 21,1894 Hardin passed the Texas State Bar Examination and obtained his license to practice law. He drove himself to make good. He ran a law practice in his latter days in El Paso, Texas. He was finally ambushed by John Selman from behind, in the Acme Saloon, in El Paso. John Selman walked into the Acme saloon…Hardin’s back was turned…when Selman drew his six-shooter and pulled the trigger. Hardin spun around to face his killer, a hole showing at the corner of his left eye - the exit wound of the bullet that had passed through his brain. Witnesses said Hardin reached for his six-shooter as he fell to the floor. Selman kept shooting, even as Hardin lye motionless on the barroom floor. Selman’s son, John, Jr., ran into the bar and took his father by the arm, pleading, “Don’t shoot him anymore. He’s already dead!”. The last famous gunfighter’s guns would no longer have the last word. John Wesley Hardin’s death marked the end of an era.
