A Texas Cow Boy (A Western Classic): Real Life Story of a Real Cowboy

"A Texas Cowboy" subtitled as "Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony" is one of the few books which offers a true look into the life of a real cowboy and that too written by someone who had actually lived the life.

Charlie Siringo was an American lawman, detective and agent for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.
