Early in his life, he briefly served with the Confederate Army in Texas. He joined an outlaw gang led by Cranston Duval, and went on to commit a series of robberies and murders throughout the southwest. Ringo was implicated in several well-known feuds of the old west, including the Mason County War and the Earp-Clanton feud. He once declared himself nemesis to legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. At the time of his death, Ringo had been living in Arizona Territory, but the location and circumstances surrounding his death remain a mystery to this day. His notoriety and fame live on in western folklore. He will be remembered for his life of adventure as an outlaw of the old west.

Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough. William Saroyan
