Beschreibung:
Hell Bent is a novel about the life of John Wesley Hardin, the most dangerous gunslinger in Texas history. Based on both fictional and authenticated facts, (as accurate as possible for the 1800's anyway), his notorious life has become the stuff of legend. The fabled Texas gunfighter led the life of ten mortal men and was a walking contradiction. At times, he was the polite southern gentleman, whom the girls loved, to a two-gun, fast draw sharpshooter who feared no one and would kill at the drop of a hat. Even as a teenager, he became the lightning rod for pro-southern sentiment, which was still festering in the Texas Reconstruction Era more than ten years after the Civil War. Many folks considered him a hero for standing up to the Federal Army and the State Police occupation of their land that they had fought and died for.
