wELCOME TO PECOS, TEXAS! Forthose new to Pecos, you might havemissed some things. For one, Pecoswas the birthplace of the rodeo in

1883, and the tradition is celebrated annually in the summerwith the West of the Pecos Rodeo at Buck Jackson Arena.

The story of how the rodeo got its start is pretty simple. Pecosstood at the junction of several cattle drive and wagon trails. TheGoodnight-Loving, Butterfield, and Chisholm Trails passedthrough Pecos, all because of the availability of easy naturalcrossing points on the Pecos River. After 1881, the rail road alsopassed through here. With so much traffic regularly coming

through Pecos, it was only natural for the many cowboys on traildrives to demonstrate their skills and try to be the best at whatthey did. Bragging rights for being the best led to directcompetition, and thus was born the rodeo, right here in Pecos.Learn more on page 30.

One of the main attractions here is the West of the PecosMuseum. It occupies two historic buildings, the Johnson-HeardSaloon and the Orient Hotel built respectively in 1896 and1904. The saloon boasts a talking bartender and the twobuildings house more than 50 rooms displaying scenes of life inthe 1800s. Learn more on page 12. Also, drop by the MemoryLane Antique Car Museum for a step back in time.

following among the satisfied diners on the train.

months at roadside stands and Texas grocery

stores. Also, join the fun at the Little Miss

Tex-Mex Food in Pecos

MEXICAN FOOD SEASONED WITHHERITAGE

Tex-Mex food is a wonderful traditiondating back to the Spanish occupationof the southern United States. In thiscuisine, with a character all its own, youget the blending of influences from OldMexico and the Tejano heritage ofNative Americans, who adapted theirlifestyles to the Spanish. Today's Tex-Mex food is a marvelous combination offlavors and menu items that represent atrue regional cuisine like no other.

Predominant seasonings that lendtheir strengths to Tex-Mex food includechili powder, garlic, and cumin. Theirtypically abundant use gives this food adistinct difference from moststraightforward Mexican cuisine. Assuch, Tex-Mex is a treat found nowhereelse. And some of the best Tex-Mexfood that will ever grace your palate canbe found in Pecos, Texas. Of the manyreasons to prioritize a stop in Pecos, thefood is probably number one. Localresidents know a good thing when theysee it — or in this case, taste it.

If you have never eaten a chilerelleno, you have no idea what you aremissing. This is a mild poblano pepperstuffed with a delicious cheese and

meat mixture, and then coated in an eggbatter and deep fried. It is unforgettable.

Trademark dishes in this cuisineinclude fajitas and the ever-popular chilicon carne. Generous measures ofcheese are coupled with beef and beansfor true Tex-Mex flavor distinct frompurely Mexican traditions. Be sure tolook for any of a variety of enchiladas inred sauce with sour cream andguacamole.

Not that you can't get great Tex-Mexfood elsewhere, but Pecos just might bethe heart and soul of the region when itcomes to this food. More than a dozenfine restaurants in Pecos offer some ofthe best Tex-Mex food you will ever find.

History of Pecos

Pecos, Texas, originally located on thebanks of the Pecos River gained its namefrom this famous meandering water course.Pecos is a Native-American word meaning“crooked”. The regions prehistoric history is evident

in pictographs and in the Jumano peoplewho irrigated crops from San SolomonSpring near Balmorhea. Three Jumano’s metthe expedition of Antonio de Espejo nearToyah Lake in 1583 and Espejo’s diary notesthese people lived along the Pecos River.Settlers of Mexican descent farmed fromearly times this same area irrigating fromsurface water. Anglo farmers arrived in 1871and the availability of several river fordswithin 30 miles made this a strategic locationfor commerce and a crossroads for cattle andwagon trains.The Texas and Pacific Railroad arrived in

1881 linking Pecos with El Paso to the Westand Fort Worth to the East and allowedsettlement and further development of the

ranching industry andagriculture in the fertilePecos River valley. Thesweet Pecos cantaloupewas introduced andgained worldwide fameand is still grown in theregion.Pecos has been sustained through the years

because of the railroad, its strategic locationon Interstate Highway 20, agriculture and oiland gas exploration. And as home of theWorld’s First Rodeo, Pecos draws the toprodeo performers and fans each summer forthe West of the Pecos Rodeo.

The history of Pecos is closely linked tothe Pecos River. Early inhabitants foundboth a steady water supply and severaleasy crossing points in this area. The riverspans 700 miles from the Sangre de Cristomountains northeast of Santa Fe, NewMexico to its ending at the Rio GrandeRivers near Langtry, Texas.

Early travelers to the area describedthe river as having a fast current and beingfrom 60 to 100 feet wide and seven to tenfeet deep. This made crossing the riverdifficult except in a few places. Today,while flooding still occurs (most recently in2014) dams and other diversions havediminished its regular flow considerably.

According to the legend, Pecos Billwas born in Texas in the 1830s. Pecos Billwas traveling in a covered wagon as aninfant when he fell out unnoticed by therest of his family near the Pecos River(thus his nickname). He was taken in andraised by a pack of coyotes. Years later hewas found by his real brother, whomanaged to convince him he was not acoyote. Pecos Bill taught gophers to digholes for fence posts, rode mountain lionsand cyclones and roped huge herds withhis lariat - which was a snake. He marriedSlewfoot Sue and lived happily ever after.

The date was 1883 -- July 4, to be exact. Itwas on that date in the small West Texastown of Pecos that a "top cowboy" wasnamed in local competition and a rodeotradition was born. Pecos was the trade center of the area's

cattle empire at the time, the place wherecowboys congregated on payday to spendtheir time and their cash and to brag a little,or a lot, about their exploits and their skills.The first rodeo may have been an informaltest of skills, a good-natured local contest topick the top ropers and riders from the hugeand competitive area ranches. But, there wascash money posted for the winners -- $25 fortop spot, and a $15 second prize -- andbarbecue was to be provided for spectatorsand contestants alike.That first rodeo drew quite a crowd,

approximately 1,000 people. And the topcowboy turned out to be Morgan Livingstonof the NA Ranch, with Trav Windham of theLazy Y taking home the second prize. HenrySlack, who may have been the youngestparticipant, noted that it wasn't a "wild andwooly" contest, but that it was conducted ina "quiet and orderly manner." Slack gave up

the cowboy life for business, but remained anavid supporter of the rodeo, and either led orrode in local rodeo parades when they wereinstituted in the 1930s. He died in 1944.The rodeo tradition continues to this day:

The West of the Pecos Rodeo has grown intoa four day event, including bull riding, saddlebronc riding, steer wrestling and tie downroping, along with family-oriented events likethe children's boot scramble and wild cowmilking. The celebration, now held in June,also includes a traditional parade and an OldTimers Reunion.The times may have changed, and Pecos

may not be the cattle drive capital of theWest any longer, but the tradition continues.And, if anyone should dispute the Pecosclaim of being the birthplace of the rodeo,local residents simply point to authentication

by Encyclopedia Britannica in response todocumentation provided by the localnewspaper. Pecos is named as the host of "thefirst public cowboy contest wherein prizeswere awarded to the winners of bronco ridingand steer roping." Today, the rodeo is a non-profit, board

directed organization that aims to preservethis annual event for years to come. Plan toattend on June 24-27, 2015. Learn more atPecosRodeo.com.
