Product Details


Product Description

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much glorifying of Hardin here., Jun 8 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Pistoleer (Paperback)
While Blake is a premier writer, in this work he has chosen to glorify a deadly killer in a way that doesn't do history justice, but continues to perpetuate the myth of this man as hero. I live in the area of Texas where Hardin did many of his deeds, and myth already abounds here. We don't need a novelist to validate these misconceptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars This author is BURNING with talent!!, Jan 18 1999
By Bruce A. (Sunny Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pistoleer (Paperback)
This is a fictionalized account of the life of John Wesley Hardin told by those who "knew" him. You're hooked immediately in the superb narrative, as the author takes many voices and pulls no punches. I have purchased many copies of this book and given them to friends, all of whom loved it. A+++++.
