Viva Texas Rivers! - Adventures, Misadventures, and Glimpses of Nirvana Along Our Storied Waterways

"More than the lifeblood of our natural world, Texas rivers have nourished the human spirit for as long as people have gathered on their banks. A living bond has flowed between Texas writers and rivers ever since the 1960 publication of John Graves's classic journey along the Brazos, Goodbye to a River. Many of Texas' leading writers have had their hearts captured by a river, and they have created sparkling accounts of the waterways they love."--
