"JUDGE ROY BEAN'S SALOON & COURT
OF LAW WEST OF THE PECOS"
LANGTRY, TEXAS
Near the junction of the historic Rio Grande
and Pecos Rivers. In the background the
opera house Bean built for Lily Langtry (The
Jersey Lily). A beautiful actress whom he
had never met, but whose picture he saw in
the Police Gazette. He died in 1902 at the age
of 71, too late to meet Lily Langtry, when
she stopped her private car to see the "Law
West of the Pecos" and the town named in
her honor.
