There's just no denying that Texas produced its fair share of stone-cold killers in the latter part of the 19th century. Men like John Wesley Hardin, King Fisher, Clay Allison, and of course the notorious Deacon Jim Miller. And then there’s Bill Longley, considered by some to be one of the deadliest gunmen of the west. A tall brooding shootist credited with 32 kills once described as the worst man in Texas. “I still alone tread the living land destitute of friends but damn the world and every sons of a bitch that don’t like me for I am a wolf, and it is my night to howl.” – Bill Longley Check out my website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ Contact me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ Listen to The Wild West Extravaganza WHEREVER you consume audio! https://www.wildwestextra.com/follow/ Listen to Obscure History!!!! https://open.spotify.com/show/7gpVCWNeSxwDpZGWdEMvsl  Listen to Texas History Lessons!!! https://www.texashistorylessons.com/ Boastful Bill Longley https://www.historynet.com/boastful-bill-longley-cold-blooded-texas-killer.htm Bad Bill Longley https://truewestmagazine.com/bad-bill-longley-2/ Bill Longley DNA https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mistaken-myth-of-wild-bill/ Learn more about your ad choices.
