Welcome To The Gunslinger's Page
The Gunfighter's
   The Gunslinger's or Gunfighter's  as we call them today were men such as John Wesley Hardin, Billy The Kid, John"Doc."Holliday,Wild Bill Longley, Clay Allison and Ben Thompson to name a few. These men were both daring and deadly. Most of the gunfighter's were from the South who had fought in the Civil War or were Southern sympathizers. Most were from families that were well respected and some  were very wealthy before the war.
   The end of the Civil War and the killing of Lincoln , brought harsh treatment the southern states. Most of the people's  possessions were either lost or destroyed during the war and what wasn't lost was usually taken away by the carpetbaggers, during what was suppose to be reconstruction.
Robert E. Lee wrote in a letter to the Texas Governor that if he had known what was going to happen after the war ended, he would have died with sword in hand, along side his men.
   Most of the men that you will read about on these following pages were ex Rebel soldiers turned Gamblers, Bandits, and Gunfighter's. Some were pushed into becoming what they were. Some were just born to kill. Below you will find a list of the most deadly gunfighter's that ever lived.

The Gunslinger
  He shot at an adversary with the same precision and deliberation that he shot at a target. He was a past master in the use of the pistol and his aim was as true as his nerves were strong and steady. He had during his career more deadly encounters with the pistol than any man living and won out in every single instance.
