Langtry, TX is just a hop, skip and jump down the road past the Pecos river . There the rustic saloon, courtroom and billiard hall and the opera house (white house) of Judge Roy Bean, the colorful and controversial "Law West of the Pecos" in 1880s is located. Judge Bean is the fellow with the white beard.
I never cease to be amazed at how the pioneers lived and made the accomplishments they did. The Galveston, Harrisburg and SanAntonio Railway ran through this area making it possible for people to travel here.

Judge Bean promoted a prize fight on the Rio Grande which drew a crowd. Guess nothing was on TV that night so they just jumped on the train, buggy or horse back. came on over to be part of the excitement. :-))
