I loved the quote attributed to the sheriff who investigated Hardin's killing. Hardin's eye was shot out, and the witnesses all claimed he'd been shot in a fair fight. The sheriff supposedly said, "If he was shot from the front, it was remarkably good aim. If he was shot from behind, it was remarkably good judgment."

Good one!
My first thought was that Hardin had been shot in the head while he sat -- presumably drunk and passed out -- in the shade of a tree...in Tombstone.
But a little research revealed that Hardin was shot in El Paso. The Tombstone event involved another gunslinger.
