Beatty's Cabin journeys back to an amazing time when the Pecos high
country of northern New Mexico was still wild and free. George
Beatty, an old-time prospector, built his two-room log cabin on a
grassy flat, beside the upper Pecos River, an area Elliott Barker
grew to love. Beatty's cabin is the pivotal axis for Barker's
thrilling memoir of his experiences and rugged adventures, many
happy, a few tragic. He gets his first inspiring glimpse of the
remote Pecos high country on the very same adventuresome trip when
he first explores Beatty's old cabin and prospect holes. With the
babble of the upper Pecos water and the whispers of the mountain
breezes among the spruces, he begins chronicling his adventures,
starting with his first wilderness pack trip in 1896 at the age of
ten and continuing with the awe-inspiring glimpses of mountain
meadows and rugged peaks. Elliott relates tales of grizzly bear
hunts, capturing outlaws, and a perilous winter rescue of a bunch
of snow-trapped horses, among others. The historical development of
the Santa Fe National Forest and the Pecos Wilderness area, so dear
to Barker's heart, form the foundation for this unprecedented
memoir of the beauty and the glory of wild New Mexico.
