Changes

The third chapter is a short stint all about history. The original Spanish explorers named it the "Arms of God". The Comanches were nomadic but roamed and owned the whole area. They were then compared to the [[Directory:Huns|Huns]], [[Directory:Visigoths|Visigoths]] and others. You know the old outside nomads v. the Romans (this time whites and Spaniards v. Indians).

===Chapter 4===

===Chapter 4===

Chapter 4 is a longer one starting with a dreary rainy morning ending when Graves dawdles out to see if its okay to break camp. A bit of blue sky shows so he packs up and heads out. Then Graves gets out of the canoe again and more history. This time he talks about the original white settlers, mostly southerners and war veterans caught up in a war of sorts with the Comanches. He then drifts into environmentalism my talking about the old farmers practice of not letting the land go [[fallow]] until nothing but dust was left then moving to a new place. He also talks about the few remaining bald eagles and parallels them with himself, not many like him left, needs lots of space. Graves passes two D-bags who flew their turboprop onto the river bank and are trying to fish. Then even more history about this part of the river, that part... Graves then calls it quits early by setting up camp and killing a squirrel for squirrel stew. He dreams about Jesse Veale an original settler killed by Comanches and how when he was in WWII in the pacific he hated the Japanese just like the whites hated the Indians. Graves threatens to quit if the rain won't stop but it finally does so he heads out the next morning.
