About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of John Wesley Hardin...

John Wesley Hardin had already become one of the most feared gunmen on the American frontier before his twenty-fifth birthday. A gambler, outlaw, and lightning-fast draw, Hardin left a trail of bodies across Texas that made even hardened lawmen hesitate to pursue him. When he was finally captured, authorities couldn't even agree on his true body count—estimates ranged from twenty to over forty victims. After his arrest, Hardin seemed destined to die behind bars. Yet through a combination of cunning, legal study, and political connections, he secured an unlikely pardon and walked free. His release sparked outrage across the state, but Hardin remained unrepentant to the end, insisting that he never killed anyone who didn't deserve it.

This is the complete, unvarnished account of America's most notorious gunslinger. From his first killing at age fifteen to his violent death in an El Paso saloon, discover the true story of the man who embodied the lawless spirit of the Wild West.

  • Early Life: Hardin’s First Killing
  • A Fugitive at Fifteen
