Let's Cross Before Dark by Bill Winsor Pdf

Let’s Cross Before Dark... A History of the Ferries, Fords and River Crossings of Texas The state of Texas claims over 12,000 named rivers and streams stretching approximately 80,000 linear miles within its boundaries. In this book, Bill Winsor identifies and locates over 550 named river crossings within the state that once served as vital destinations for Native Americans, European explorers, and Mexican and American soldiers and colonists. Winsor has catalogued their origins and histories. Included in the work are maps of major rivers and their crossings as well as select images of early ferry operations of Texas. In addition to an alpha index of the crossings, the 625-page book presents an in-depth examination of the roles principal rivers and their crossings assumed in the framing of Texas history. Each of its fourteen chapters explores the founding of these various sites and the characters that brought them to life. This information, under one cover, presents an incomparable resource for future generations to better understand and appreciate the historical relevance of these vanishing theaters of history.

Let's Cross Before Dark by Bill Winsor Pdf

Let's Cross Before Dark A History of the Ferries, Fords and River Crossings of Texas. My fascination and quest for researching the early-Texas river crossings was ignited by my deep admiration and respect for the courage, determination, and sheer bravery of the early European explorers that mapped these destinations and the pioneers and settlers that brought them to life. This intrigue is not inspired by some romantic interpretation of their heroism as much as it has been a product of my appreciation of their audacity, their strength, and their leadership in carving out livelihoods from a raw and unlawful wilderness. The earliest pathways of Texas were animal trails leading through forests and across prairies to springs, streams, and rivers, establishing easily navigated tracks. Native Americans adopted these footpaths, expanding them to include campsites at river crossings, linking hunting grounds and the villages that evolved and establishing trade and commerce. After 1700, Spanish explorers and their settlers adopted these same trade paths, widening them, clearing trees for horsemen, wagons, and soldiers. Today, these once heavily traveled and prominent river crossings exists only as dim traces advancing down river banks if at all. Their existence and importance has been eclipsed by new highway bridges and these early destinations of commerce have faded away with the passing of time. Their history has largely been drowned out by the incessant march toward improving toward improving infrastructure serving Texas. Bill Winsor Kelmar Ranch, 2022

Good Poems, American Places by Various Pdf

Another wonderful poetry anthology from Garrison Keillor-rooted in the American landscape. Greatness comes in many forms, and as Garrison Keillor demonstrates daily on The Writer's Almanac, the most affecting poems in the canon are in plain English. Third in Keillor's series of anthologies, Good Poems, American Places brings together poems that celebrate the geography and culture that bind us together as a nation. Think of these poems as postcards from the road, by poets who've gotten carried away by a particular place-a town in Kansas, a kitchen window in Nantucket, a Manhattan street, a farm in western Minnesota. Featuring famous poets and brash unknowns alike, the verses in this exhilarating collection prove that the heart can be exalted anywhere in America.
