Abstract
Anyone who has seen Richard Farnsworth's portrayal of Bill Miner in the Grey Fox would identify with Charles A. Siringo: "a nineteenth- century man who had become an anachronism in a twentieth-century world that had passed him by." This is a sad story about a jackof- all-trades western character who tried his hand as a cowboy, detective, homesteader, and writer. After reading this book, one concludes that he was not particularly skilled in any of these professions-all of them brought him grief
