About this listen

 Dive into the captivating world of Charles A. Siringo, an American lawman, detective, and pioneering figure for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After embarking on numerous cattle drives, Siringo traded in his saddle for a quieter life in Caldwell, Kansas, where he married in 1884 and opened a merchant business. It was here that he penned his groundbreaking work, A Texas Cowboy; Or Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony. This remarkable book, published to widespread acclaim, offers an authentic glimpse into the life of a cowboy through the eyes of someone who truly lived it. - Summary by Wikipedia and David Wales
