Concordia
Cemetery - The El Paso of the 1870s and 80s provided many chapters (many of
them final chapters) in the lives of some of the most well-known Texas gunfighters.
Dallas Stoudenmire, John Wesley Hardin, his assassin John Selman and
Bass Outlaw to mention a few. J. W. Hardin is buried here.
"From
the Chinese section to the poorest graves marked only by a cross made from two
pieces of rebar, a very strong feeling of the past is evoked, despite (or maybe
because of) its change into an urban setting with adjacent freeway overpasses."
- Chris Abbott.
