John Wesley Hardin - the Old West gunfighter who not only faced down Wild Bill Hickok but also gained infamy for (allegedly) shooting a man merely for snoring! Join me as we examine both of these incidents, as well as Hardin’s encounter with the Bloody Bender family of Kansas, the time a belt buckle saved his life, and the lead-up to the infamous Sutton-Taylor feud. #wildwest #history #western

Another excellent episode. A sweet little trip down memory lane for me. That JWH snoring story was my grandfather's favorite. Don't know how many times us kids would gather around for story time and would be treated to this one. He never tired of telling it & we never tired of hearing it. He was quite the teller of wild west tales.

Wow, awesome episode! It's so interesting to think the Bloody Benders might have had John Wesley Hardin as a victim. It was Laura Ingalls Wilder whose father helped hunt down some.of those murderers, what a posse that would have been had it includes Charles Ingalls and John Wesley Hardin. But for a simple.matter of what was no doubt a relatively short period of time.

I don't believe for a second Hardin backed down Hickock in any shape or form, I think Hardin was a little in awe of Hickock and resorted to telling some tall tales which others at the time may have believed and this helped "corroborate." his tale.

As a combat vet myself and a fellow historian, I would love to help you narrate this . There are so many people in history that you could talk about. You are so good at doing research. Shit you can talk about president Theodore Roosevelt and the ruff riders. The only president to get the medal of honor. Also how he took a bullet in the chest and still continued a one hour long speech. The sky is the limit of how many badass people who lived in our past. Id love to assist you in these endivers.

I got into a lot of school yard fights for claiming that Wild Bill was my great great Uncle because my mother wouldn't lie . After researching this as an adult I found she told the truth, however it wasn't by blood, Emma Hickock the great equestrian was my mother's great great Aunt by blood. Wild Bill's adopted niece.

The most plausible scenario would have been that John Wesley got the drop when he witnessed Hickok approaching him...not knowing Hickok's intentions? As far as an "actual" draw? Ridiculous! Both, were smart enough to know the others speed and capabilities. Doubt that it ever happened but some patron over exaggerated it to the newspaper man that sold and even more exaggerated version to a dime novel writer for a few buck$ There is the scenario where, "supposedly", Hardin got the drop and laughed at Hickok stating; "I could have got'cha, Bill!" Bywhich, Hickok laughed and said; "Guess you did, John!" Again...Hickok probably wasn't even thinking about drawing down on Hardin. Hardin was the more worried one...

The story of Hardin getting the drop on Hickock with the border roll never had much of a ring of truth to me. Hickock was already famous at the time and Hardin was becoming famous. People would have know about one or both men in a rock star sort of way. Had that happened in front of witnesses, it makes sense that it would have been the talk of the town. Maybe it would even made the paper. With the incident being unknown until 1890 by Hardin's own mouth, makes the story a little fanciful. I just couldn't imagine sitting in a saloon, witnessing this incident, the going about my business. Me and my buddies would have talked about it and I'm sure everyone around would too.

I have scoured every known resource to substantiate the "snoring" incident (since age 15), and aside from a newspaper article (Abilene Chronicle Aug 10, 1871), alleging that a "Wesley Clements" aka as "Arkansaw", fired four shots through hotel room wall striking a John Cougar (who was allegedly sitting up in bed reading), and killing him (no mention of snoring)...and still haven't found a credible source, either. Safe to say that the actual truth will likely never been known...on that subject. Metz released his book in 1996, a year after RC Marohn released "The Last Gunfighter: John Wesley Hardin". Marohn was a child psychiatrist specializing in juvenile delinquency and narcissistic disorders. His book was primarily a 20c version of psychoanalyzing a 19c man. Metz was doing the same with his book. Lewis Nordyke "John Wesley Hardin Texas Gunman" 1957, is another source on Hardin. Less 20c perception/opinion/psychoanalyzing. All in all...Hardin was no doubt influenced by the times in which he lived. As were many others...known and unknown. 🙂👍

I don't believe that the Hardin/Hickock confrontation happened because if you carry butts reversed when you re-holster your pistols you will eventually perform the border reverse in reverse, I think Bill would have been suspicious of being handed Hardin's pistol butts reversed.

He did claim that hardened on the road agent spin and that both men kept their guns pointed at each other and he said wall bill with a shot him even with a reflex action if Hardin head shot him 1st. The deputy also said I would let him have both barrels and I reckon he knew that too. Supposedly according to him they both put their pistols up at the same time and then they went and had a drink.

josh,how many of these guys you've done stories on knew the others? where was bass reeves during this? none of those badass texas rangers ever went looking for hardin? also, a few of the old west towns had a no gun policy. but that goes against the 2nd amendment. did people not care about that back then? would hickok have given up his guns if he was traveling thru one?

Eventually, it would be a Texas Ranger who arrested Hardin. However, in the years directly following the Civil War, the Rangers were decommissioned. They wouldn't be reinstated until 1873. Before the Rangers, you had the Texas State Police but Hardin usually got the upper hand. As far as the gun policies go, I don't think it was so much that people didn't care about the 2nd amendment as they considered it a common sense type of law. In many towns, you were not allowed to carry a sidearm within city limits but outside of town, you could carry as many as you wanted. I don't know if Hickok ever handed his guns over when he entered such a town or not, but I doubt it.

Of course you don’t think you’d marry off your daughter at 14 because food is cheap and easy to find THESE DAYS but if you had to hunt or WORK as hard as they did back then you’d be praying from the day your daughter was born for someone to relieve you of that excess burden…boys on the other hand could provide you labor to make up for their consumption of food & other necessities. You probably also think you wouldn’t own slaves 😂 but TIMES were different then

@@WildWestExtravaganza Same time period….same mindset! They’re called SOCIETAL STANDARDS which change with every new generation. Girls are fertile at 12 and people used to only live till they were 40 when they were serfs vassals & slaves not just a generation or two before them. Read more books on history so you can have a better overall context of what nonsense your speaking. When science extended our average life expectancy ONLY THEN did people start developing their protection standards with regards to sexual activity IN GENERAL! Why did everyone wear powdered wigs…STD’s There was NOTHING to do back then…drinking & F’ng are a historical constant….BUT age is a recent consideration of our current century

Now goddammit I thought what Hardin used on Hickock was called the "road agents pass" & the "border roll" was when a cowboy switched his loaded pistol to his dominant hand while simultaneously holstering or switching the empty one to the other hand. Correct me please...
