Description

Texas’ rivers are a part of the state’s history, charm, and lore. Battles have been fought on their banks, cities have been founded along their cool currents, and countless legends have been told of their treacherous crossings and brackish waters. Texas’ rivers are showcases of nature’s variety. The mossdraped streams in the Big Thicket and bayous of the southeast, the sandy banks of the high plains, and the canyons of the Rio Grande form a diverse backdrop.

In Rivers of Texas, Verne Huser captures the mystery and wonderful thing about the state’s waterways. By presenting the landscape, historical accounts, geologic facts, economic development, and recreational opportunities along the many streams, Huser displays how everything in Texas impacts or is impacted by the rivers.

Huser establishes four categories of Texas rivers: Border Rivers, HeartofTexas Rivers, Regional Rivers, and Gulf Coast Rivers. Each and every specific river is then invested with information about its size, location, tributaries, discharge, and special sites along that system. Narratives about Each and every river are also included, combining documented history with colorful legends and stories and personal anecdotes based on Huser’s own experiences. Brilliant descriptions of the wildlife and vegetation fortify the text, as do the blackandwhite photographs, which capture the distinct wonderful thing about Each and every watershed.

Using straightforward language and an approachable tone, Rivers of Texas is both informative and entertaining. Huser’s love for his subject and his wisdom gained from traveling and studying these rivers is evident, whilst his fresh blend of facts and folklore makes this a very good traveling companion, useful to anyone who wants to be told more about the waterways of Texas. It’s also a very good guidebook for adventurers and explorers who need to experience the rivers in each and every aspect.
