Charlie Siringo lived a life of adventure on the American frontier as a cowboy, Pinkerton detective, writer, and later as a consultant for early western films. A publicity blurb says, "Howard Lamar's biography deftly shares Siringo's story with historians and the general public interested in the American West.... Siringo was not a mere observer, but a participant in major historical events including the Coeur d'Alene mining strikes of the 1890s and Big Bill Haywood's trial in 1907." Fine in dust jacket.
