The Red River in Southwestern History is the story of the river and the people who have lived along its banks. Tyson tells the story of the river from its beginnings as a trickle in the Precambrian era to its tumultuous journey through the centuries, carrying people and goods to the markets of the world. He examines the river's impact on the people who have lived along its banks, from the nomadic Indians who hunted and gathered along its banks to the farmers and ranchers who settled along its banks in the twentieth century. Tyson tells the story of the river and the people who have lived along its banks through their successes and their failures, their triumphs and their tragedies, and he shows how the river has shaped the history of the Southwestern United States.; 8vo; 222 pages.
