About A Lone Star Cowboy: Being Fifty Years’ Experience
"One of the greatest stories ever written of the Old West when the law of the six-shooter reigned supreme and the bad man flourished." -The Santa Fe New Mexican, April 13, 1920"The Lone Star Cowboy…represents the best effort of Siringo who has already established himself as a writer of the west." -Oklahoma Daily Live Stock News, Feb. 5, 1920"Charlie Siringo…in 1916…became a New Mexico Ranger chasing rustlers…and in 1919 published another book about himself, A Lone Star Cowboy." -The Ballad Collectors of North America (2012)"Siringo…knew and corresponded with hundreds of western figures: cowboys and ranchers, businessmen, scholars and other writers about cowboys." -Charlie Siringo's West (2020) Is anyone more qualified to write about the Wild West days than Charles Siringo? Siringo personally knew virtually every famous personality of the Old West and still somehow managed to survive his days as a cowboy, New Mexico Ranger, and Pinkerton detective. He rode over every cow trail in the west and was personally acquainted with many of the most notorious characters killers, men who had many notches on their guns. In 1919, Charles A. Siringo (1855-1928) published "A Lone Star Cowboy," which contains information on both his early days as a cowboy as well as his time as a Mexico Ranger and Pinkerton detective. As Siringo himself states in the Preface, "In this, 'A Lone Star Cowboy,' much cattle history is given which has never before been published." About the author: Charles Angelo Siringo was born February 7, 1855, Matagorda County, Texas, and died October 18, 1928, in Los Angeles County, California. He was a cowboy, lawman, detective, bounty hunter, and agent for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After moving to California, he played the part of an old cowboy in the movie Nine Scars Make a Man. In 1925, Siringo served as a consultant for William S. Hart's Tumbleweeds.
