Synopsis
Few names in the lore of western gunmen are as recognizable. Few lives of the most notorious are as little known. Romanticized and made legendary, John Ringo fought and killed for what he believed was right. As a teenager, Ringo was rushed into sudden adulthood when his father was killed tragically in the midst of the family's overland trek to California. As a young man he became embroiled in the blood feud turbulence of post-Reconstruction Texas.The Mason County "Hoo Doo" War in Texas began as a war over range rights, but it swiftly deteriorated into blood vengeance and spiraled out of control as the body count rose. In this charnel house Ringo gained a reputation as a dangerous gunfighter and man killer. He was proclaimed throughout the state as a daring leader, a desperate man, and a champion of the feud. Following incarceration for his role in the feud, Ringo was elected as a lawman in Mason County, the epicenter of the feud's origin.The reputation he earned in Texas, further inflated by his willingness to shoot it out with Victorio's raiders during a deadly confrontation in New Mexico, preceded him to Tombstone in territorial Arizona.Ringo became immersed in the area's partisan politics and factionalized violence. A champion of the largely Democratic ranchers, Ringo would become known as a leader of one of these elements, the Cowboys. He ran at bloody, tragic odds with the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday, finally being part of the posse that hounded these fugitives from Arizona. In the end, Ringo died mysteriously in the Arizona desert, his death welcomed by some, mourned by others, wrongly claimed by a few.Initially published in 1996, "John Ringo" has been updated to a second edition with much new information researched and uncovered by David Johnson and other Ringo researchers.

This is one poorly written book
29. Juli 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The title of this book is very misleading. The book has more than 270 pages of which probably 40 are about Johnny Ringo. It is filled with details of the Hoo Doo war and 1880's Tombstone. The author apparently used this book to deliver his views on these two subjects. The book bounces around chronologically to fit the authors desire to make a poorly documented point. It's odd that he goes into detail about Johnny Ringo's distant relatives, this diatribe goes no where but he fails to provide relevant opposing views and research on views of Hoo Doo and Tombstone, he chooses to omit it. Ridiculous statements come out of no where like "Ringo was feeling melancholy at this time", how he possibly could know this is not documented.
This book is a huge waste of money. The publisher should be ashamed to have their name on it.

Avoid this book
15. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I've tried three times to read this book, and failed. The author wastes page after page on the genealogy, census reports, and net worth on everybody the Ringo family ever had contact with, and bores you to tears in the process. I began to first skip sentences, then paragraphs, pages and even chapters trying to learn something about John Ringo, and finally gave up in disgust. Not being able to read the entire book without throwing it down in anger, I really can't be sure, but I believe that there is only enough pertinent information on Ringo to fill a twelve page pamphlet. AVOID THIS BOOK!

Disappointing
6. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have to agree with the first reviewer. If you were expecting this to be about John Ringo you will be disssapointed. THe author used Ringo as a focal point to explain about the wars in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Knowing that going into the book it has a lot of information about the cattle wars of that time. It was interesting but I really wanted more about John RIngo. The better book is "John Ringo The gunfighter that never was" by Jack Burrows
