Charles A. Siringo letters to William E. Hawks, 1912-1926.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702138404

18 ALS from Siringo to Hawks discussing the publication of his writings. Most of the correspondence deals with the controversy surrounding the publication of the Two Evil Isms. Siringo also writes about "old timer cowboys" and outlaws, telling Hawks some tidbits of their history, and in one letter there are two cowboy songs. Many letters carry enclosures, one of which corrects a story about Bat Masterson after a discussion with Wyatt Earp in 1926. There is in addition 1 TLS from Gifford Pinchot, chief of the U. S. Forest Service from 1898-1910, and president of the National Conservation Association, to Siringo, dated December 28, 1912, regarding his endorsement of A Cowboy Detective.
