Pecos Bill is one of the more "different" Kellogg tall tales books. Bill's family had fled the east coast for a place less crowded. They were going to settle in Texas, but decided to leave when another family moved in. Alas, baby Bill got pulled out of the wagon by a fish. He was raised by animals and thought he was a wolf until another man showed up. He had strength to kill snakes and used one as a rope to help herd the untamable cattle. There were various crazy experiences about capturing a horse, raising cows on steep hills and having a bride that goes into orbit. Finally, he catches his bride and discovers his long-lost family.
