Paddle through the beautiful waters of Neches river with the calming narrative of one of its most eloquent stewards.

  • Author: Richard M. Donovan
  • Softcover; 237 pages; color photographs
  • Texas A&M University Press; copyright 2008

From its origins on a sandy hillside in Van Zandt County, the Neches River flows through the heart of east Texas. In its watershed lies some of the wildest country in Texas, tucked amid the remains of one of the finest hardwood forests in the world.

With the goal of keeping the Neches flowing free, east Texas native and riverman Richard M. Donovan takes readers canoeing down a 200 mi. stretch of the upper Neches. Through 2 national forests and mile after mile of remote river woodlands, he chronicles the river's natural and cultural history, describes its animal inhabitants, recounts stores of early settlers and east Texas hunting traditions, and calls attention to the recreational potential of the river for paddlers and others, whether residents or visitors.

Donovan also makes a case against damming the river. He convincingly promotes the idea of turning the Neches into a National Scenic River, preserving forever the river's natural flow and what remains of the verdant bottomlands of this historic watercourse.

Imported.
