Texas, 1868. Outlawed by his first kill at age fifteen, John Wesley Hardin assumed the life of an itinerant cattle drover, gambler, and exterminator of men. ??
His bloody trespass through Southern states ravaged by the American Civil War found him pursued by lynch mobs, bounty hunters and assassins. Hardin became the archetypal wanted man. ??
First published in 1896, Gunfighter is a unique, gripping evocation of an American frontier stalked by vengeance and sudden death. A true classic of outlaw literature, it not only stands as one of the first recorded confessionals of a serial killer, but also as a study and inadvertant indictment of the gun culture which stills holds sway in modern-day America. ?
