Pecos Bill: The Greatest Cowboy of All Time

By James Cloyd Bowman and Laura Bannon

Bill was just four years old when he fell from the family wagon near the Pecos River on the western frontier. Accidentally left behind by his family, he was raised by coyotes, and he didn't realize he was human until he was an adult. When he did, Pecos Bill returned to civilization and used the superhuman powers he'd developed during his peculiar upbringing to become the best cowboy in the West.

These are some of the original Pecos Bill stories and if you grew up on Pecos Bill as I did you will love this volume! Some very nice plates too.

A gathering and retelling of the Pecos Bill legends for a young audience. S'okay, but not really my favorite genre.
