Format:Paperback
While Blake is a premier writer, in this work he has chosen to glorify a deadly killer in a way that doesn't do history justice, but continues to perpetuate the myth of this man as hero. I live in the area of Texas where Hardin did many of his deeds, and myth already abounds here. We don't need a novelist to validate these misconceptions.
Format:Paperback
The wonderful easy style of James Carlos Blake takes you into the world of the west with historical fact and fictional padding that shows he has a unique insight into the mind of the characters he chooses to write about. I got completely drawn into the life of John Wesley Hardin and left to make my own mind up about the justification of his actions. Great book
Format:Paperback
A ripping yarn of boys own escapades and serial shoot outs - however it is sadly lacking in psychological depth or content . . .
