John Wesley Hardin
(1853-1895)
"Notorious Outlaw who killed over 30 men.
Son of a Methodist Minister, "Wes" was an ardent
Southerner. His resistence to Union Occupation Troops
made him a hero and set him on his lawless career. He
always claimed he shot only in self defense.
He was killed in El Paso in 1895."
