Four Sixes to Beat: the Tale of a Killer Bruce Croft

John Wesley Hardin was a product of the post Civil War era in Texas. Being of high intelligence and reared by an upstanding, good, and hardworking family, in any other time, he might have risen to great heights and prominence in our Country's history. But fate has a dark and light side. And early on, the dark side seemed to gain the upper hand in Hardin's personality. Through out his life, he struggled for a balance. He was neither a robber nor a thief. Had he been, he would have gone down in the annals of time with the likes of Jesse James. No, John Wesley Hardin was only a killer of men. Justified or not, you be the judge.
