Pecos Crossing is a reprint of a Ballintine Western Original by Elmer Kelton titled Horsehead Crossing which is an actual ford on the Pecos River. It is the story of two cowboys who have left their winter trials behind and are looking for a good time in a town that didn't even show up on most maps, Sonora. But Speck Quitman gets too rowdy and Johnny Frisco runs afoul of a lawman with a short fuse. From then on it is a year and a half of run and jump, hide and wait, until Johnny finds the courage to confront the man tracking them. An exciting yarn full of twists and turns with every page. An exceptional story.
