Description: John Ringo by David Johnson (1996, Hardcover) Very Good Few names in the lore of western gunmen are as recognizable. Few lives of the most notorious are as little known. Romanticized, made legendary, John Ringo fought for what he believed right. A descendant of colonial Dutch Americans, a native of Indiana, a childhood witness of the ruthless border conflicts of the Civil War, a teenaged Ringo was rushed into sudden adulthood when his father died 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 Reconstruction Texas. The reputation he earned there proceeded him to Tombstone, where the factionalized violence of territorial Arizona thrust him into further conflict. A leader of one of these elements, the Cowboys, Ringo ran at bloody, tragic odds with the Earps and Doc Holliday. He died mysteriously in the Arizona desert, his death welcomed by some, mourned by many, wrongly claimed by a few. Historian David Johnson has painstakingly researched family archives, official documents, contemporary newspapers, and other primary records to produce John Ringo, the first full length biography of one of the most enigmatic figures of the gunfighter era.
