Summary:On the southern portion of what was known as the Sibley's Pezuna del Caballo (Horse's Hoof) Ranch in West Texas' Culberson County are two mountains that nearly meet, forming a gap that frames a salt flat where Indigenous peoples and, later, pioneers came to gather salt to preserve foodstuffs. According to the US Geological Survey, the gap that provides this breathtaking and historic view is named "Jane's Window." In this book, Jane Dunn Sibley, the inimitable namesake of that mountain gap, gives readers a similarly enchanting view: she tells the story of a small-town West Texas girl coming into her own in Texas' capital city, where her commitment to philanthropy and the arts and her flair for fashion - epitomized by her signature buzzard feather - made her name a society staple.
