Omschrijving

Riata and Spurs is a memoir written by Charles A. Siringo, detailing his life as a cowboy and ranger in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The book is a vivid account of his experiences in the saddle, from his early days as a cowboy on the open range to his later years as a lawman in Texas. Siringo's stories are filled with colorful characters, thrilling adventures, and the harsh realities of life on the frontier. He recounts his encounters with outlaws, cattle rustlers, and other dangerous criminals, as well as his efforts to maintain law and order in a rapidly changing West. Throughout the book, Siringo's love for the cowboy way of life shines through, making Riata and Spurs a captivating read for anyone interested in the history of the American West.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 outlaw gangs and labor unions; including having infiltrated the famous Butch Cassidy's Train Robbers Syndicate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
