books by Charles A. Siringo     books:       A Texas Cowboy: or, Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony (Penguin Classics)4 reviews Charles A. Siringo Penguin Classics, 2000 What was it like to be a cowboy on cattle drives? This book has the answers. Exciting stories, concise writing (too concise sometimes). Siringo is honest about his faults. He obviously tries to capitlize on his tangential involvement with Billy the Kid (whom he knew and admired). Ever wished you could have a beer with a real Texas cowboy who was there when the cattle drives started? Well, here's your chance.             Riata and Spurs (Southwest Heritage) (Southwest Heritage) Charles Angelo Siringo Sunstone Press, 2007 In his introduction to the 1927 edition of Riata and Spurs, Gifford Pinchot said that 'Charlie Siringo's story of his life is one of the best, if not the very best, of all books about the Old West, when cowpunchers actually punched cows.' He goes on to say that 'it is worth something to be able to lay your hand on a book written by a man who is the real thing, and who tells the truth.' Others might not have the same opinion about the book and ...             Riata and Spurs the Story of a Lifetime Spent in the Saddle as Cowboy and Ranger Charles A. Siringo Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2004 1931. With illustrations. A fascinating firsthand narrative of Charlie Siringo's wild west career as the first cowboy detective that reads more like fiction than real life. After joining the Pinkerton Detective Agency, having used Pat Garrett as a reference, Siringo worked cases all over the West, from as far north as Alaska to as far south as Mexico City. In a long and varied career, Siringo chased rustlers and robbers, and went undercover in ...             Texas Cowboy; or, Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony2 reviews Charles A. Siringo University of Nebraska Press, 1979 One of Dobie's Favorites The most authentic book ever written about the Texas cowboy. J. Frank Dobie said that "no record of cowboy life has supplanted this rollicky, reckless, realistic chronicle" and that it is "the most-real, non-fiction book on cowboy life." Siringo worked as a cowboy for Shanghai Pearce, rode with a posse of Texas cowboys to New Mexico to track down Billy the Kid and took part in numerous cattle ...             A Texas cow boy (Classics of the Old West)1 review Charles A Siringo Time-Life Books, 1980 Good Cow Boy Stories I found this little gem of a book referenced in a book review of another book! It's been around since the early 1880's and is a splendid read. Not complicated, but very entertaining.             A Cowboy Detective: A True Story of Twenty-two Years with a World-Famous Detective Agency3 reviews Charles A. Siringo University of Nebraska Press, 1988 Siringo's Best Charles Siringo was the real deal, the rare 1870's cowboy who experienced the trail rides of the Wild West, but also felt the need and had the desire to put his experiences in writing. The stories in his books seem to be honest and legit, not inflated or self-indulgent. He was a man of great courage and resoursefulness, and the stories in this book are full of real-life examples. I have read ...             A Lone Star Cowboy (Southwest Heritage Series) Charles Angelo Siringo Sunstone Press, 2006 For a number of years prior to 1922, one of Santa Fe, New Mexico's most colorful and famous residents was Charles Angelo Siringo (1855-1928), popularly known as "the cowboy detective." A small, wiry man, he was friends with practically everyone in town. In 1916 Governor William C. McDonald persuaded Siringo to accept a commission as a New Mexico Mounted Ranger for the state Cattle Sanitary Board. The only thing unusual about that was Charlie ...             History of "Billy the Kid" (Historians of the Frontier and American West) Charles A. Siringo University of New Mexico Press, 2000 Reprinted only once since its first publication in 1920, the History of Billy the Kid is the rarest book on the New Mexico gunfighter. Born in Texas in 1855, Siringo was a cowboy, Pinkerton detective, western writer, and Hollywood advisor until his death in 1928, and crossed the Kids path once or twice in the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico.
