In The Pecos Country is a book written by Lieutenant R. H. Jayne that explores the beauty and danger of the Pecos River region in Texas. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences as a soldier stationed in the area during the late 1800s. Jayne provides a vivid description of the landscape, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the challenges of living and working in such a remote and rugged environment. He also recounts his encounters with the local Native American tribes, including the Apache and Comanche, and their struggles to maintain their way of life in the face of encroaching settlers. The book is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American West.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
