Relates some of the legends of Pecos Bill, a cowboy who was raised by wild animals, once roped a whole herd of cattle at once, and invented Texas chili.
Pecos Bill was the baby of the family, the youngest of eighteen children, so when he fell off the covered wagon no one missed him at first. He was adopted by coyotes and rode wild horses, roped whole herds of cattle at once and did other outlandish things. Fun tall tale and illustrations.
