Description: "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."--

Review Quotes: "This unique and remarkable book reveals an amazing array of our state's best writing on Texas Rivers. It stretched my imagination and made me yearn to go find many of these incredible places, to try to feel the mystery and allure and sometimes wild terror that is still there, in the 21st century, if a soul is brave enough and curious enough to follow the clues."--Thomas Zigal, prize-winning author of Many Rivers to Cross--Thomas Zigal
