Please feel free to ask any questions you have about this listing. PORTRAITS OF THE PECOS FRONTIER – Revised Edition – by Patrick Dearen. Foreword by Elmer Kelton. Texas Techn University Press - ©1993,1999 – ISBN 0-89672-422-0 – 358 pages – the book measures approximately 6 x 9. The Pecos River country of West Texas is a vast land of contrasts, stretching between San Angelo on the east and El Paso on the west. Rich in history and folklore, this region has shaped the lives of those who live there. Patrick Dearen spent years tracking down its stories, and then painting word portraits of some of its intriguing individuals, forgotten sites, and legends. He trekked across the Guadalupe Mountains in a fresh search for the Lost Sublett Mine. Another lost mine, the Chisos, lured him deep into Big Bend National Park. He canoed the mythic Pecos River in quest of the origin of its name, and dared the spirits in a haunted house in the Davis Mountains. The mysterious Marfa Lights teased him across an arid plain on a dark night. In Palo Duro Canyon, he rounded up Texas€™s oldest cowhand and shared his line camp. He rode the Rio Grande with the Border Patrol, hopped a freight train with hoboes, and walked the scene of a manhunt for a cowboy born a hundred years too late. The book is in good condition; light reading wear; binding tight, no loose or torn pages; pages unmarked – no writing, no underlining, no highlighting; cover and spine edges rubbed/chipped; ½ inch scuff on side outer page edge; top corner back cover creased; normal shelf wear. Good solid copy. G&M stock #2fe(js24)
