In The Pecos Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162667829)

In The Pecos Country is a book written by Lieutenant R. H. Jayne that provides a detailed account of his experiences in the Pecos River Valley of Texas during the late 1800s. The book is a memoir that offers a unique perspective on life in this remote area of the American West, including descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and the people who lived there.Jayne's writing is vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of a rugged and unforgiving landscape that was home to a diverse array of wildlife, including bears, wolves, and mountain lions. He also describes the challenges faced by the settlers who lived in the area, including the harsh weather conditions, the threat of Indian attacks, and the difficulty of eking out a living in such a remote and isolated place.Despite the many challenges, Jayne's account is filled with moments of humor and humanity, as he recounts the friendships he formed with the people he met, and the sense of community that developed in this rugged and beautiful part of the country. Overall, In The Pecos Country is a fascinating and engaging read that offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era of American history.The ringing voice of Sut Simpson, aroused the boy, who, finding himself loose from the grasp of the Indian, bounded forward again. But he had scarcely done so, when the tramp of horses' hoofs were heard, and a warrior, more daring than the others, sent his mustang forward with arrowy swiftness, not behind the lad, but directly in front of him, so that he was compelled to turn to one side, in the attempt to dodge him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
