[ Autograph ] John Wesley Hardin 1853-1895 Western frontier gunman said to have gunned-down over thirty men, including several sheriffs along the Chisholm Trail. Finally captured by Texas Rangers, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison and spent much of his time learning law and managing the prison Sunday school. However, shortly after hisrelease he returned to his old ways, holding up a faro game and soon thereafter was shot in the back of the head by gunslinger John Selman Partial D.S. lp. 8in x 2/14", the top section of a page from a book of cattle brands signed at the top "J. W. Hardin". Surprisingly, the verso bears the signature of noted Texas Ranger J. H. Tomlinson, who fought at Bexar and San Jacinto. Glue stain at top far from signatures, otherwise very good condition. A very rare signature!
