- LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST presented by Black Barrel Media. John Wesley Hardin was the son of a Methodist preacher who grew into one of the most prolific killers in American history. He killed his first man at the age of 15. By 18, he’d killed Union soldiers, Texas State Police officers, and more than one civilian - at least, that’s what the legend says. With Hardin, there is always a fine line between fact and fiction.

Every segment of these podcasts are golden.
Everyone here should read the Autobiography of John Wesley Hardin. One of the best reads that will ever meet your eyes.
Lol wow. Hard disagree. Hes so full of himself and excuses himself everything. I find it intensely disingenuous, and somewhat amusing.
@@NinjaGrrrl7734 honestly, even having never read it that's what makes me WANT to read it. Hardin was seemingly the kind of man where if you new him personally it probably wasn't that pleasant. Yet here from the safety of the land of the living. More tyan a century simce he died. Atbthe very least his personal account should be fun to read.
Im having issues with my eyesight, making it difficult to read and watch movies. Its really devastating me, especially bc i love to do both and have recently discovered the massive trove of stories of the old west. Thanks for making these available, and for having so many. I cant go back to my job bc of my vision, so ive pretty much been agonized over filling my time, now that i cant indulge in my favorite hobbies. Truly cannot express my gratitude.
This guys voice and verbal cadence is great. He does Infamous too!

I am directly related to John W Hardin, he's my 12th. cousin.
Cold blooded killer; and AND NOT a Hero! He murdered people any way he could, whether fair or not fair fight..
My great grandmother was one of the cousins he used to visit. She was a little girl at the time and remembered him coming by.
Nothing cool to brag about! Why? A cod blooded murderer.
@daviddavis3389 I think you might not understand the word "brag".
All good again.
Oh nice, hearing Belton makes me think of home, grew up 20 miles west of Belton. Also ate some good ice cream in Brenum. If you know, you know
Y'all should do one on Lewis Redmond.
B I G THANK YOU
Chris I nearly fell off my tractor when I heard you say Brenham Texas I live in Central Florida and I was working in Austin for a few months I'm coming home from Florida after 80 hour work week on 290 I end up taking business 290 and Came Upon a train. I was second in line of this exceptionally long train that had just started. I put my truck in park to wait and I nodded off. Next thing I know someone's knocking at my window but Brenham Texas Finest. The guys thought I was drunk and after sobriety test and obviously you didn't smell any alcohol I convinced him that I was exhausted and I was lost. To the nicest guys I've ever met they directed me to a hotel why wouldn't stay for the night before headed back to Florida never in a million years would I have guessed that would happen to me especially there. Needless to say the natives got to see something different. But it seemed like a wonderful little town. That's my Brenham Texas story . love all your books by the way keep them coming manage great
Shit happens, nice that you weren't drunk tho 🤠 i would love to visit all the mentioned places .
Take care
@@AIRRAID2 you know it....cheers
@@micanopykracker902 Cheers bud
Growing up my dad used to tell me that we were related to john wesley hardin.. as i got older i got curious and did a deep dive on ansestry and sure enough i tailed it back to john wesley hardin. He is on my dads moms side of the family. She was born a hardin. Lola hardin was her name before she was married. I can honestly say that i do believe in the mean gene being passed through generations.. my cousin on her side as well is ken rex mcelroy from skidmore mo.. look him up youll see what i mean. Its scary just how privilant the " mean gene " is in my family bunch of roughnecks. Hard to control tempers all the way through.
Nothing to boast about!! From what ive read, he eas s coward and a cold blooded tacist( he detested Blacks) basically a psychopath....ess he good sith a 6 shopter? Yes, but he was a terrible murderer....somilar to Jesse James who wasnt a good person...Jesse no Robin hood...He also Robbed good people and kept every last dime...he was a theft!! No hero...😅
I’m not finding this on Spotify, so must be new?
I just found it 10 minutes ago! Listening to it again over there.
@ 6:40, iv'e read "the life of john wesley hardin", though long ago, seems i remember jwh's description being that they had "mage" down and they rubbed his face in the dirt and that this was the tipping point of all the rage that followed...hmmnnn, what do you say?
Likely but I'm sure he didn't tell the whole truth about it he wanted to kill him forsure . But be younger guy big guy sure could of happened
As a Black American this man was more of a coward than anything else!!!
What's cool is I'm related to him he is a distant cousin but I don't know that much about him
🤠👍
I’m related to Hardin
Im related to Jack Johnson, the pro boxer...
Just wondered how long any of these tough guys and back shooters would have lasted against Harry Tracy? To paraphrase one western writer: compared to Harry Tracy, Jesse James was a choir boy. His breakout from Oregon State Corrections in Salem, and consequent flight past Portland to Seattle to his death near Wenatchee is almost unbelievable: a posse of a dozen well armed lawmen who pursued him were so frightened half of them quit and went home. The last great desperado, more recent even than Butch and Sundance. Was it because he was not the stereotypical wild west outlaw that you people overlook him? From the land of the big trees and not the dusty cow towns? Put them all in a dark room together, Earp, Jim Miller, James, Hardin, all of them, and Harry Tracy walks out alone. The meanest, toughest, most fearless malcontent in American history.
Ivanhoe Texas never heard of it
