Stories of the Century - John Wesley Hardin, Full Length Episode Classic TV series 

Hardin backed down Wyatt Earp . He was tough as nails ans sorted a thick black beard. These stories of the century take great liberty.

Actually John Wesley Hardin was shot to death from behind in El Paso at the Echo (or Acme) Saloon by John Selman Sr., a 56 year-old former badman. The August 1895 date given in the TV episode is correct. While awaiting a 2nd trial (the 1st was a mistrial), Selman was himself shot to death by a US Marshal (1896)! So it goes with gunmen!

All I have read of the characters portrayed in these stories including some from 'newspaper official records', have found not one mention of Matt or Frankie. They must have been time travelers also. The Old West goes to the Twilight Zone!

Hardin wasn't one to suffer fools gladly.
