Goodbye to a River
Author: John GravesPublisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307773353
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
In the 1950s, a series of dams was proposed along the Brazos River in north-central Texas. For John Graves, this project meant that if the stream’s regimen was thus changed, the beautiful and sometimes brutal surrounding countryside would also change, as would the lives of the people whose rugged ancestors had eked out an existence there. Graves therefore decided to visit that stretch of the river, which he had known intimately as a youth. Goodbye to a River is his account of that farewell canoe voyage. As he braves rapids and fatigue and the fickle autumn weather, he muses upon old blood feuds of the region and violent skirmishes with native tribes, and retells wild stories of courage and cowardice and deceit that shaped both the river’s people and the land during frontier times and later. Nearly half a century after its initial publication, Goodbye to a River is a true American classic, a vivid narrative about an exciting journey and a powerful tribute to a vanishing way of life and its ever-changing natural environment.

Inventory of Ponds in the Brazos and Colorado River (Texas) Drainages, from NASA Color Infrared Photography

ISBN:
Category : Brazos River Watershed (Tex.)
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
Small ponds are abundant in central and eastern Texas. Most are fed byrunoff, a few by pumped ground water. These ponds are usually under landowner control and are small enough to be managed for the objectives of the owner. The extent of the resource is poorly known. Acreage datafor ponds larger than 2 acres but smaller than 40 acres have been published by the Soil Conservation Service for 1958 (457,901 acres) and 1967 (456,549 acres) (SCS 1970). Although the reported areas show a slight decrease from 1958 to 1967 some counties show drastic and unexplained decreases which call the quality of the data into question: Denton County decreased from 36,200 acres to 2,049: Andrews County from 2,000to 10; Cottle County from 5,000 to 0. Pond numbers were reported for the first time in the 1977 SCS National Erosion Inventory Estimates, (SCS 1978) where Texas is listed with 126,881 ponds smaller than 40 acres, with total pond surface area of 409,000 acres.
