"You know Jesse James and Billy the Kid. You've watched "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and heard tales of John Wesley Hardin and the Dalton Brothers. All legends in their time, all still outlaw icons today. Every era eventually ends, and the Old West was no exception.

Have seen the movie: not bad. Follows the actual story of his life surprisingly well. |

Not my idea of a "gunfighter" nor are the James gang and Butch/Sundance. If you consider this guy to be a gunfighter then the criminals of the 1920s are also. |
