Retry Correct Incorrect According to the Texas State Historical Association, Charles Siringo was known as the “Cowboy Detective” because he legitimately drove cattle before he ended up joining the infamous Pinkerton detective agency. In addition to being skilled enough to track fugitives all the way to Alaska and Mexico City, Siringo was proud to say that he made most of his arrests without needing to resort to violence.
