Title: A Good Journey and a Good Story Even Though It is Slow and Meandering--as Rivers and Good Stories Should Be...
Review: A slow, meandering story about a slow, meandering journey--a trip a man makes in a canoe down the river of his childhood (The Brazos in Texas) before it was dammed up and was no more.It is--or can be--a slow, meandering read, but the joy of this book--and there is a lot to enjoy--comes from the meandering---as the man, author John Graves, recounts the history, legend and lore that took place along the banks of his beloved river,at places and sites he is seeing for the last time--Indian stories and pioneer stories, some shocking in their horror, some inspiring, some humorous, and always, always, interesting.Join him on his trip. It well worthwhile--but don't be in a hurry. Enjoy this tale--these tales of the Texas Brazos, places, scenes and sites never to be seen again but that will always be a part of our misted, shaded, and, now, water-covered past.
