Pecos Bridge.

    This was the ORIGINAL Pecos River bridge built by the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Railroad (which by then was owned by the Southern Pacific). Railroad construction crews building east from El Paso and west from San Antonio met each other about 3 miles west of this bridge in 1883, where GH&SA President Thomas Wentworth Peirce drove a silver spike to complete the line. Already advertising itself as the "Sunset Route" at the time of SP acquisition, this GH&SA slogan quickly got applied to SP's entire Los Angeles to New Orleans corridor. Nine years after it was built, SP abandoned this low-level bridge when their famous Pecos High Bridge bypassed it 5 miles upstream.

    Before streets on the hill. Just trails.

Mildred Douglas Riding Wild Steer

    Mildred Douglas was born in 1895 therefore this photo probably was taken in 1915.
  • SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:
    DHR2007 Thank you for your interest! We did some research and found that the photograph is actually from circa 1917, so you were definitely close with your approximation. As a result, we have updated our records accordingly on here and on our main site. Thank you again for all your help and feedback on this matter!
