Watson grew up hearing his tales of the steamboats, log rafts, and the flora and fauna of East Texas. So when she was sixty-three years old, she decided to repeat his odyssey in her own backwater boat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReflections on the Neches\u003c\/i\u003e is both the story of her journey retracing her father's steps and a natural and social history of the Neches region of the Big Thicket.

Profusely illustrated with drawings by the author and including maps of her journey, \u003ci\u003eReflections on the Neches\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to all those interested in the Big Thicket region and those indulging a feeling of wanderlust--and float trips--down the river.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geraldine Ellis Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1574415352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574415353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Geraldine Ellis Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742594150655,"sku":"9781574415353","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reflections-on-the-neches-geraldine-ellis-watson-9781574415353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
