Well Howdy there folks! Sit by the campfire & listen up to the story of The First Cowboy! The Rider of the Cyclone! The Coyote boy who tamed all varmints & created the Cattle run. For in West Texas there is the King killer of the Mad Men, Pecos Bill!
But was he a cowboy demigod who inspired the rowdy folk to have fun again & taught the cattle rancher how to become a full cowboy? Or was he a trickster god who invented popular western crimes like train robbing & created centipedes & scorpions just to prank his fellow cowboys?
& just what kinda mind would create this legend? Maybe a Hollywood screenwriter who called himself the Mercenary of 10 flags after his international wars.
Let’s explore the legend of Pecos Bill & find out what kinda fun there is to have in west Texas on this weeks case of Fringe History!
