Texas Cowboy; Or Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony
'Texas Cowboy; Or Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony' Summary
Charles A. Siringo, a veteran cowboy and later a lawman, recounts his fifteen years spent working on the Texas range. He provides a vivid portrait of a cowboy's life – the long drives, the dangers of the frontier, the camaraderie and struggles of the cowboys themselves, and the interactions with Native Americans. Siringo describes the thrill of the chase and the thrill of encounters with outlaws, but also captures the loneliness and hardships of a life on the open range. He details the changes he witnessed, including the rise of the cattle industry and the decline of the Wild West. Beyond the adventure, Siringo also offers a fascinating account of the social and economic conditions that shaped the West and its people. "A Texas Cowboy" is a must-read for anyone seeking a true and authentic account of life on the Western frontier.Book Details
