About this listen

 Host Jack Maddox examines how post-Civil War Southern honor culture, rooted in dueling traditions, traveled west with young Texans and fueled frontier violence. Through the story of gunfighter John Wesley Hardin—who claimed over 40 kills defending his reputation—we explore how inherited codes of honor transformed trivial insults into deadly encounters across cattle towns and lawless territories.
