2170705Son of the Old Westhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/son-of-the-old-west/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1928072/9080ae89-ee73-4a4d-9869-2b80b2abd2d9.jpg?v=638656592459700000265368MXNGrove AtlanticInStock/Ebooks/An epic narrative of the Old West told through the vivid, outsized life of cowboy, detective, and chronicler Charlie SiringoNo figure in the Old West lived or shaped its history more fully than Charlie Siringo, as Nathan Ward reveals in his colorful portrait of this epic era and one of its primary protagonists.Born in Matagorda, Texas in 1855, Charlie went on his first cattle drive at age twelve and spent two decades living his boyhood dream as a cowboy. As the dangerous, lucrative beeves business boomed, Siringo drove longhorn steers north to the burgeoning Midwest Plains states cattle and railroad towns, inevitably crossing paths with such legendary figures as Billy the Kid, Bat Masterson, and Shanghai Pierce. In his early thirties he joined the Pinkerton Detective Agencys Denver office, using a variety of aliases to investigate violent labor disputes and infiltrate outlaw gangs such as Butch Cassidys train robbing Wild Bunch. As brave as he was clever, he was often saved by his cowboy training as he traveled to places the law had not yet reached.Siringos bestselling, landmark 1885 autobiography, A Texas Cowboy, helped make the lowly cowboy a heroic symbol of the American West. His later memoir, A Cowboy Detective, influenced early hard-boiled crime novelists for whom the detective story was really the cowboy story in an urban setting. Sadly sued into debt by the Pinkertons determined to prevent their sources and methods from being revealed, Siringo eventually sold his beloved New Mexico ranch and moved to Los Angeles, where he advised Hollywood filmmakers, and especially actor William S. Hart, on their early 1920s Westerns, watching the frontier history he had known first-hand turned into romantic legend on the screen.In old age, Charlie Siringo was called Ulysses of the Wild West for the long journey he took across the western frontier. Son of the Old West brings him and his legendary world vividly to life....2142835Son of the Old West265368https://www.gandhi.com.mx/son-of-the-old-west/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1928072/9080ae89-ee73-4a4d-9869-2b80b2abd2d9.jpg?v=638656592459700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239780802162090_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9780802162090_An epic narrative of the Old West told through the vivid, outsized life of cowboy, detective, and chronicler Charlie SiringoNo figure in the Old West lived or shaped its history more fully than Charlie Siringo, as Nathan Ward reveals in his colorful portrait of this epic era and one of its primary protagonists.Born in Matagorda, Texas in 1855, Charlie went on his first cattle drive at age twelve and spent two decades living his boyhood dream as a cowboy.
