French, p. 45, states,- "For the distance of near forty miles, the 
route lies up the east bank of the river. A few miles below the ferry,the 
valley of the Pecos disappears, and the mountains on either side approach 
each other closely. Proceeding up river, they gradually widen out, forming 
a level valley from one to three miles in width; and a little above where 
the road leaves the valley, they stretch to the left over the plain in a 
broken, irregular line" ■ y / f =7 /?,
