Running the River - Secrets of the Sabine

Growing up near the Sabine, journalist Wes Ferguson steered clear of its murky, debris-filled waters. But when he set out to do a series of newspaper stories on the upper portion of the river, he and photographer Jacob Croft Botter were entranced by the river's subtle beauty and the solitude they found there. Determined to travel the rest of the river, Ferguson and Botter loaded their gear and launched into the stretch of river that charts the line between the states and ends at the Gulf of Mexico.
