Far-Flung Tale of Pearce Family and Texas Goings-On

By Harry Williams, a lengthy El Paso region feature recounts Jesse Pearce driving 630 miles from the Horsman hotel area to 17 West Mulberry Street in San Antonio. It weaves in family lore, local gossip, new residents like Angell, ranch notes near Vance and Lackey, plus anecdotal notes on property values, goat and sheep tending, and police permit talk for trucking.
