‘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.
Excerpt:
‘While ranching on the Indian Territory line, close to Caldwell, Kansas, in the winter of ’82 and ’83, we boys—there being nine of us—made an iron-clad rule that whoever was heard swearing or caught picking grey backs off and throwing them on the floor without first killing them, should pay a fine of ten cents for each and every offense.

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