Some called him a Texas hero and some called him the Devil himself. But on one point they all agreed--when he was alive, John Wesley Hardin was the deadliest man in Texas. The Pistoleer relates the wild days of Wes Hardin through the voices of those who encountered him during the 42 years of his life--friends and enemies, relatives and strangers to lawmen and outlaws, gamblers and fancy ladies.
In a novel of uncompromising depth and power, Blake recreates the life of John Wesley Hardin, from his youth to his final days. "An ingenious reconstruction."--Dale L. Walker, Rocky Mountain News.
