Overview

He killed more men than Billy the Kid and lived long enough to count the bodies. John Wesley Hardin wasn't a legend-he was a walking execution. From the age of fifteen, he left behind a trail of corpses across Texas and beyond: lawmen, drifters, soldiers, and strangers who looked at him wrong. He claimed forty-two kills. Twenty-seven are confirmed. Most were shot in the back. Some never even saw him coming. This book tells the true story-without myth, without mercy. Every chapter is built on court records, sworn testimony, prison logs, and the cold facts of a man who killed without hesitation and died exactly as he lived: violent, paranoid, and fully armed. Shot Dead at the Acme delivers the full weight of Hardin's brutality-from his first killing to the bullet that finally caught him at a dice table in El Paso. No fluff. No fiction. Just one of the most dangerous men in American history, told exactly as it happened. No redemption. No regrets. Just blood.
