The Story of John Wesley Hardin - Old West Outlaw/Gunslinger 

Thank you so much for watching. This post is very encouraging. Stay tuned. I'll make sure I do some more like this.

@@goodlifeontheroad thank you sir, much appreciated, if possible, could you do some on the old west, Doc Holiday, Billy the kid and of course Marshall Wyatt Earp. Thank you.

Glad you're here. You tube is a wonderful venue for people to connect and enjoy the same entertainment.

Come visit sometime. My great grandfather was from Wales and immigrated before, or during the Civil War. He got his US citizenship by fighting in the Civil War for the Union. Cheers!

Yes. Had Texas on my mind I guess.

Thank you for watching

Thank you so much

Thank you so much.

Oh man, thank you so much. Means a lot.

@@goodlifeontheroad your welcome 🙏 Brother

I did not. That is so interesting. There is so much to his story I couldn't get into this short video. Thank you so much for the comment. Always awesome to learn more.

Thank you

I need to look that up. Bet that's interesting.

Hardin is a cousin of my husbands Maternal Great-Grandmother. Bonnie Parker is a relation on the Paternal side of my husbands family.

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you

You are 100% correct.... I guess it's the flawed human thinking. Doesn't matter what country, what continent.... negativity sells, rather than the wholesome, righteous people who make the mundane not so romantic and are the real heroes of civilization. Now, being the hypocrite I am, I will watch this video😔😔

Thank you for watching

Thank you so much

Thank you

Thank you

Wondered that myself. I'm a preachers son too and have always knew better. Bafflingly

I have family who fought for both sides in the civil war and after the war northern troops occupied the South and regularly did horrific deeds to southern people. My family owned no slaves but two of my distant cousins were tourtered by Union troops just for laughs. That's why many became outlaws or broke a few laws

Absolutely right and really wasn't trying to be rude to the teller of the story just know Hardins story. Like you said his dad a methodist minister. By all accounts a good looking kid brought up well. He went bad at 14 with a class mate he got in a fight with. Had a knife on him. Said he would have killed the other kid if it hadn't been broke up. Think it was over a girl. Within a year of that he did kill for the first time. Finally imprisoned in 1878. He claimed he had killed 44 men. Know he got charged with less but some say he probably wasn't to far off. 15 years later received a pardon and while imprisoned of all things studied law. Smart man obviously.. Got out. Started practicing law in El Paso and was gunned down soon after. As you said and I whole heartedly believe. Live by the sword die by the sword. Hey thank you and again was not my intention to be rude to the narrator. Man I just love western history of all sorts.

@@ltd2372 No hard feelings at all. I encourage discussion of all types. I also couldn't agree more with you. This man was a very bad egg.

@@goodlifeontheroad thank you and me as well. Ret U S Navy. The traveling the world part of that expire3ance was the best part of it. World history hands on. Planted the seed so to speak. To know one's history is to know ones self. Again just a hobby of mine but with western history and all that I know of there's always bad guys and he was certainly one of the worst.

Oh wow. I did not know that.

Dylan's song paints a very favorable picture of Hardin as "a friend of the poor." Musically a great song, from an album of the same name. One of Dylan's best records.

I was wondering if anyone would point out the Dylan song. Thanks.

Thank you

Thank you

Oh wow. I didn't even know there was a commerical

@@goodlifeontheroad back in the late seventies

Not according to John Wesley Hardin in his book however he has been known to exaggerate

Thank you so much. Very encouraging

He did have children

Thank you for watching

😂😆

Thank you so much for watching

You are absolutely correct. Mistake that slipped by me when I recorded this. Thank you for mentioning this.

Thanks, I sure will.

Lawyers is a good one.

Thank you for watching. I'll have to go check out your video for sure.

WOW 🥺😳😱

Thank you for the tip. I'll look into that one

Thank you so much

Oh wow. Very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing.

yea he was shot in the front after he was dead and on the floor by that yellow bastrd

Guess those witnesses were full of it

I'll have to look into that

You are correct. I did have that wrong.

Oh wow. That's awesome. I'm not sure which picture you are referring too. I try to pick actual pictures but sometime they isn't a picture out there such as the school house knife scene.

Thanks for responding. I am still listening to your story. It's a well put together story. Thanks for sharing it.

@@RRECS thanks for listening. Be on the look out for the Story of Jesse James. Got to visit his home in Missouri. Still working on the video.

Thank you

Wow thank you so much very humbled

And you would be right. I slipped

So interesting. Thank you for sharing

@@goodlifeontheroad Liked your video. Whatever the interaction between Hardin and Wild Bill, it's remarkable how small a "people space" the Wild West was, and how frequently the legends crossed paths. You might like this video of the Road Agent's Spin, once in real time and slow motion, and once with Clint Eastwood sped up with movie magic. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YDe5NurHGeo.html

😂😆. Can't deny that.

My thoughts exactly. If some kid even brought a pocket knife to school now they would never see the inside of a school again.

He was a sociopath. There was nothing admirable about him.

Couldn't agree more

Awesome. Thanks for the tip

Thank you

I did read about that but had to keep the video from getting too long. Hated to leave it out.

Wow that's awesome. He would be one of want on my side.

Thank you so much

I did. So much more about John Wesley that I could fit into a small video. Thank you so much for sharing.

You are correct

Didn't even think of that. Well, there is always a next time. Lol

You are absolutely correct

Yes, very

You are correct. My mistake.

Oh wow. That's pretty cool

Gosh, I'm not sure. Very possible I guess

Lol
