Tales of a Vanishing River
by Earl Reed
'Tales of a Vanishing River' Summary
'Tales of a Vanishing River' takes readers on a journey through the heartland of a western river, exploring the unique character of the region before its natural flow was altered. Author Earl Reed, deeply familiar with the land and its inhabitants, uses his keen observations and intimate knowledge to craft a series of sketches and stories that illuminate the life along the river's banks. He delves into the daily rhythms of the people, their connection to the land, and their relationship with the water source that sustained them. Reed also touches upon the impact of change, both natural and man-made, that ultimately led to the river's vanishing. The book is a testament to the power of place, the beauty of nature, and the enduring spirit of the people who lived in harmony with the river.Book Details
