FOUR SIXES TO BEAT

By: David Dixon


Friends, gunfighters are generally a strange breed and John Wesley Hardin was the strangest of the lot. His was a name that personified gunfighter. As many of his contemporaries, he was a product o of the turbulent days of carpetbag government in Texas following the Civil War, Not used as an excuse, however, but a realistic fact of our post civil war history. Little did I know that after his incarceration for 16 years in a Texas prison, he was released in 1894 and passed an examination for the Texas Bar and became a criminal attorney. Here is a little-known, highly controversial and it reads, fictionalized, account of his final days. Here is the rest of the story entitled:

FOUR SIXES TO BEAT

By: David Dixon

Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about famous gunfighters of the Old West are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.

I hope you appreciate the effort.

OLD GUNFIGHTER LEGENDS AND

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.

 What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color. An example of the quality of this old western collectible magazine is the drawing pictured.

As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
