In August, long before the Wild West became the stuff of movies and legends, John Wesley Hardin had already carved his name into history. Wanted for murder and relentlessly pursued by Texas lawmen, Hardin fled with his family, assumed another name, and attempted to disappear right in our very midst – along the Alabama–Florida border. But his past was following close behind. Told in the distinctive Sweet Tea Murders style, this carefully researched presentation separates the documented history from the legend while following the outlaws, lawmen, and local residents caught in the path of one of the Old West’s most notorious gunfighters.
