JOHN WESLEY HARDIN OUTLAW T-SHIRT

John Wesley Hardin, a preacher's son, was one of the most dangerous outlaw gunslingers of the Old West. Before the age of 25, he killed from 27 to 44 men, depending on who you talked to. He killed his first man at age 15 and once shot and killed a man in an adjoining room for snoring. At the age of 24, he was captured and spent nearly 17 years in prison where he earned a Law Degree. In 1895 at the age of 41, Hardin was playing dice around midnight in an El Paso saloon. A local sheriff he had been feuding with strolled in, walked up behind him, and shot him in the back of the head. Digital impressionist illustration panel art work based upon original archived image.
