I am looking to replace a book that I loaned to a friend about Mr Hardin. However, I can not remember the title. It was a series of interviews from people that knew him.

Anyone out there able to help me???


He was a killing son of a gun.

    Was it possibly one of these?

    The Capture of John Wesley Hardin by Chuck Parsons; The Last Gunfighter, by Richard Marohn and John Wesley Hardin; Dark Angel of Texas, by Leon Metz; Kill or Be Killed by Ed Bartholomew.

    I don't think so. It was a series of interviews of people that actually knew him including soiled doves of Dodge I think. Was a fun read as if the people were actually talking to you and telling you about this man they knew.

    Ah! Thanks I will track it down now.

    BTW, I had a guy as a witness in a case one time that was an oil field hand. I told him about the book. He told me that he was raised by his grandpa and grandma. He said his grandma's uncle lived there and he would tease the old guy. One day his grandpa took him aside and said "Don't be teasing Uncle John. Grandma's family can be right down mean if they get cross."

    Later he said that he found out Uncle John Selman was related to that other Selman who shot and killed John Wesley Hardin.

    Just gotta love Odessa Texas.[:D]
