About This Item

New York: Time Life, 1980. Reissue. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket - Pictorial Cover. 8x5x1. 1980 reissue of 1885 original (Six-Guns and Saddle Leather 2032). Faint edge wear. An autobiography of a real-life cowboy who traveled the cattle-trails of the Old West. SGSL: "It was one of the first books written about the cowboy and perhaps received wider circulation than any other of its time. Yet it is now hard to find a copy, and it is nearly impossible to find a copy of the first edition.

Synopsis

After a nomadic childhood, Charles Siringo signed on as a teenage cowboy for the noted Texas cattle king, Shanghai Pierce, and began a life that embraced all the hard work, excitement, and adventure readers today associate with the cowboy era. He "rid the Chisholm trail," driving 2,500 heads of cattle from Austin to Kansas; knew Tascosa-now a historic monument-when it was home to raucous saloons, red light districts, and a fair share of violence; and led a posse of cowboys in pursuit of Billy the Kid and his gang.First published in 1885, Siringo's chronicle of his life as a itchy-footed boy, cowhand, range detective, and adventurer was one the first classics about the Old West and helped to romanticize the West and its myth of the American cowboy. Will Rogers declared, "That was the Cowboy's Bible when I was growing up."
