A Lone Star Cowboy.
For A Number Of Years Prior To 1922, One Of Santa Fe, New Mexico's Most Colorful And Famous Residents Was Charles Angelo Siringo (1855-1928), Popularly Known As "the Cowboy Detective." A Small, Wiry Man, He Was Friends With Practically Everyone In Town. In 1916 Governor William C. Mcdonald Persuaded Siringo To Accept A Commission As A New Mexico Mounted Ranger For The State Cattle Sanitary Board. The Only Thing Unusual About That Was Charlie Siringo's Age, A Ripe 61. Undaunted, He Saddled Up And With A Pack Horse Started For His Headquarters At Carrizozo In Lincoln County. His Duty Was O Run Down Outlaws And Stock Thieves In Southern New Mexico. "during My Two Years As A Ranger," Siringo Said, "i Made Many Arrests Of Cattle And Horse Thieves And Had Many Close Calls With Death Staring Me In The Face." Obviously, Governor Mcdonald Had Made A Wise Choice When He Tapped This Hard-riding, Fawt-shooting "senior Citizen" For The Dangerous Ranger Job. But Siringo Was More Than A Law Man. He Put In Countless Nights Writing Up His Experiences. When His Book," A Texas Cowboy," Appeared, Its Author Achieved Fame Overnight. "a Lone Star Cowboy," Published In 1919, And Which Sunstone Press Has Chosen To Include In Its Southwest Heritage Series, Contained Many Of The Stories In His Earlier Books And The Author Says In His Preface: "this Volume Is To Take The Place Of A Texas Cowboy.." Meanwhile, Soon After Publishing His Recollections, Siringo Joined The Renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency, Whose Branch Offices Covered The West. He Remained With The Firm For Two Decades. After Leaving The Pinkertons, Charlie Siringo Did A Good Bit Of Roaming Before Settling In Santa Fe. Because Of The Name He'd Madein Publishing, He Had Access To Many Persons, On Both Sides Of The Law. From Them He Got First Hand Information That He Later Incorporated In A New Book Called Riata And Spurs. In That Work, The Writer Had Wanted To Include Some Of His Own Daring Adventures While Serving With The Pinkertons. But The Agency Threatened A Lawsuit If He Revealed Any Of Their Professional Secrets. So The Cowboy Detective Had To Delete Some Of His Best Material. Siringo's Experiences As The Quintessential Cowboy And Determined Detective Helped Romanticize The West And Its Myth Of The American Cowboy.

Altoona.
Altoona Is A City Built By The Pennsylvania Railroad. Cities Usually Grow To Maturity And Then Sprout Suburbs. With Altoona, It Was The Opposite. The Suburban Towns Are Older Than The City And Form A Larger Community. In 1849, Altoona Was Fa Rmland, A Little Hamlet In The Mountains Of Central Pennsylvania. The Site Was Chosen By The Railroad For Locomotive Repair Shops. Situated At The Eastern Base Of The Allegheny Mountains, Altoona Was Destined To Become The Largest Railroad Yard In The World. The Complex Occupied 217 Acres And Included Two Huge Roundhouses. Centered Around The Railroad, The City And Its Population Grew. In This Historic City Were Various Shops That Provided Employment To Early Settlers And The Old Furnaces Of The Ironmasters. Also Here Were The Logan House Hotel, Where A Meeting Of Governors Saved The Union, And Cricket Field, Where Great Athletes From Across The Country Competed. Over The Years Altoona Has Been Visited By Not Only Presidents And Statesmen But Also Celebrities Of Stage And Opera. It Is Home To The World-famous Horseshoe Curve And To Lakemont Park, Which Has The Worldas Oldest Roller Coaster.

Praise And Blame: Moral Realism And Its Application.
How Should A Prize Be Awarded After A Horse Race? Should It Go To The Best Rider, The Best Person, Or The One Who Finishes First? To What Extent Are Bystanders Blameworthy When They Do Nothing To Prevent Harm? Are Tehre Any Objective Standards Of Moral Responsibility With Which To Address Such Perennial Questions? In This Fluidly Written And Lively Book, Daniel Robinson Takes On The Prodigiuos Task Of Setting Forth The Contours Of Praise And Blame. He Does So By Mounting An Important And Provocative New Defense Of A Radical Theory Of Moral Realism And Offering A Critical Apparisal Of Prevailing Alternatives Such As Determinism And Behaviorism And Of Their Conceptual Shortcomings. The Version Of Moral Realism That Arises From Robinson's Penetrating Inquiry-an Inquiry Steeped In Aristotelian Ethics But Deeply Informed By Modern Scientific Knowledge Of Human Cognition-is Independent Of Cognition And Emotion. At The Same Time, Robinson Carefully Explores How Such Human Attributes Succeed Or Fail In Comprehending Real Moral Properties. Through Brilliant Analyses Of Constitutional And Moral Luck, Of Biosocial And Genetic Versions Of Psychological Determinism, And Of Relativistic-anthropological Accounts Of Variations In Moral Precepts, He Concludes That None Of These Conceptions Accounts Either For The Nature Of Moral Properties Or The Basis Upon Which They Could B Known. Ultimately, The Theory That Robinson Develops Preserves Moral Properties Even While Acknowledging The Stipulations That Undermine The Powers Of Human Will.
