Index, 172 b/w illustrations, maps, photos. John Wesley Hardin, killer of 42 people, was the premier and last gunfighter of the Old West.

Hardin was later caught in Florida, served 16 years in jail, and practiced law. His violent death closed the door on the era of the gunfighter (1868-1895). ~ 8vo 8" - 9" tall~ 320 pages

McIntire, Jim (DeArment, Robert K., Ed.) Early Days in Texas: A Trip to Hell and Heaven
Norman, OK University of Oklahoma Press 1992 0806124075 Reprint~ First Printing Hardcover Fine in Fine dj~ Fine in mylar-protected dj.
Index, biblio, notes, b/w map. Reprint of a 1902 book. Gentleman, reprobate, killer, lawman--Jim McIntire was all of these, and more. The handsome young man soon built a quick-gun reputation that in the 1880s led him into city law enforcement in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and later branded him as an outlaw. In his own plain, unvarnished style McIntire writes of a life packed with action and excitement. A host of notable frontier figures parades through the narrative: early Texas rancher James C. Loving; military men Henry O. Flipper and Albert J. Fountain, legendary lawman Pat Garrett, John W. Poe and Wyatt Earp; and an assortment of outlaws and gunfighters including Sam Bass, Dave Rudabaugh, Billy the Kid, Jim Courtright, and "Mysterious Dave" Mather. ~ 8vo~ 184 pages
