Quotes About Pecos

Pecos's moniker came from the tall tales he spun about Delta team members and missions every time he downed a beer. The most legendary yarn was about Neil "the Sandman" Dalton.

IN FOUR DAYS' riding he crossed the Pecos at Iraan Texas and rode up out of the river breaks where the pumpjacks in the Yates Field ranged against the skyline rose and dipped like mechanical birds. Like great primitive birds welded up out of iron by hearsay in a land perhaps where such birds once had been.
