Great American Folklore Hero, Pecos Bill

Pecos Bill used a rattlesnake for a lasso and could ride a tornado like a horse! Bill invented calf-roping, cattle branding and the six-shooter. He was the strongest, meanest, toughtest,bravest old cuss you ever did see!

I remember Pecos Bill stories when I was a little girl. Loved them! They were funny and took my imagination to heights I never thought possible. I think that's the purpose for stories like Pecos Bill's and Paul Bunyan's. It's still fun to look back at these stories and enjoy some chuckles.

"Pecos Bill had the strangest and most exciting experience any boy ever had. He became a member of a pack of wild Coyotes, and until he was a grown man, believed that his name was Cropear, and that he was a full-blooded Coyote. Later he discovered that he was a human being and very shortly thereafter became the greatest cowboy of all time. This is how it all came about."
