 Back to things --- Graves details the history of the Sherman family and their run in with the local Indians. This guy named two-feathers and his band of Comanche brothers heckles these Irish people then rapes, tortures, and kills them except for one which turns out to be the mother of [[Directory:Quanah Parker|Quanah Parker]]. Graves finishes by bitching about historical inaccuracies and the Hollywood fictionalized version of the old west. At the end of the chapter Graves tells us how he is a world traveler and compared to world history the settling of the old west isn't a very big deal yet it is extremely important to him and makes up an important part of his being.

+So basically the author [[keyword:=John Graves]] canoes down 150-200 miles of the upper-middle Brazos River where most of his childhood memories took place before 5 new dams where scheduled to go in. The Universities own Marc Speir wrote a much fancier and well better overview than I ever could. Enjoy.
 ===The “Common Experience”===

 ''As time passed, the river was dammed in three places north of Waco for recreation and flood control, forming Possum Kingdom Lake, Lake Granbury and Lake Whitney. There is also a small municipal dam outside of Waco named Lake Brazos Dam. Graves argued against the dams, most notably the proposed construction of Lake Granbury in the mid-1950s, and the “drowning” effects he said they would have on the river. Although Lake Granbury was completed in 1969, the success of Goodbye to a River is believed to be a major reason that additional dams were not built on the Brazos, despite numerous proposals. Widely celebrated for Graves’ flowery language, naturalist philosophy and beautiful prose, the book is considered an American classic and heralded as a masterpiece of conservation and history, often compared to Walden by Henry David Thoreau. Thousands of freshmen at Texas State will read the novel this fall in English and University Seminar courses.
