About this recording
In a time and an area noted for badmen and gunfighters, John Wesley Hardin was one of the most notorious. Considered by many to be almost illiterate, he nevertheless left this autobiography for publication after his death in 1895, and though biased, is remarkably accurate and readable. Hardin's grammar and spelling are sometimes incorrect but this book has been narrated as he wrote it. WARNING: Hardin shows his racist nature as well as using the "N" word. - Summary by Barry Eads
