Maynard The Texican E-text prepared by Shaun Pinder, Christian Boissonnas, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "The Texican" by Dane Coolidge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the cattle-ranching culture of the American Southwest and follows the life of Pecos Dalhart, a young cowboy with a complex background who becomes embroiled in a world of cattle rustling, personal conflict, and romantic entanglements. The novel seems to explore themes of morality, identity, and the quest for belonging in a harsh landscape. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a quiet road-house at Verde Crossing, where the atmosphere is charged with unspoken tensions and the echoes of past rivalries. Pecos Dalhart arrives on the scene, described as a promising but enigmatic figure with a rebellious spirit. He quickly becomes involved with the locals, including Angevine "Babe" Thorne and Marcelina Garcia, and reveals his underlying motivations - both to escape from an unsavory past and to carve out a new identity in a lawless environment. The opening sets the stage for potential conflicts with cattle barons and an exploration of Pecos's character as he navigates the perils of his new life. As the tension between the characters builds, the reader can sense that Pecos’s choices will have significant implications for himself and those around him.
