Some said John Wesley Hardin was a hero. Didn't he take up a gun against the bluebellies riding roughshod over Texas after the War? He was hardly more than a boy and already fighting injustice. And when the damnable State Police was bullying innocent people, didn't he give those Davis devils plenty of their own brute hell? Yes, he killed a lot of men - men who were trying to kill him!

From AudioFile:
This fictionalized account of the gunslinger John Wesley Hardin's life is told through the voices of those who met him during his violent 42 years. Relatives, friends, acquaintances, and enemies--in all, a broad spectrum of outlaws, gamblers, and working girls--relate adventures and define Hardin's personality, as well as the flavor of the Old West. Scott Brick, Burt Reynolds, and William Windom portray several of the first-person narratives. Each individual characterization adds realism and drama. Portrayed as a family man, married to Jane Bowen until her death, Hardin is arrogant but brave, and somehow sad. Listeners will enjoy the tales and come to admire him.
