River Walk untangles the story of the evolution of San Antonio's River. It is a visual tour de force as well. Of the 230 illustrations, many in color, dozens are newly uncovered historical images never before published. Five million visitors each year make San Antonio's River Walk one of the top travel destinations in Texas. Yet how the river was revived from the sluggish trickle of a century ago to become a world-renowned model for river development has remained a little-known story. Written in a concise and entertaining manner, and carefully documented, River Walk: The Epic Story of San Antonio's River is an authoritative work that will be welcomed on both bookshelf and coffee table.
