Pecos River north of Comstock,Texas. The river was named "Pecos" by the Spanish from the Keresan name of the Pecos Pueblo. The river played a large role in the exploration of Texas by the Spanish. In the latter half of the 19th century, "West of the Pecos" was a reference to the rugged frontiers of the Wild West. Photo by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
