Weaving together landscape and memory, this book presents
historical photographs of the Rio Grande of the American Southwest.
The dynamic Rio Grande has run through all the valley's diverse
cultures: Puebloan, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo. Photography
arrived in the region at the beginning of the river's great
transformation by trade, industry, and cultivation. In Rio Savage
has collected images that document the sweeping history of that
transformation - from those of nineteenth-century expeditionary
photographer W. H. Jackson to the work of the great
twentieth-century chronicler of the river, Laura Gilpin. The
photographs are assembled in thematic bundles - river crossings,
cultivation, trade, floods, the Mexican insurrection, the Big Bend
region, and the estuary where the river at last meets the Gulf of
Mexico. Essays by Rina Swentzell, G. Emlen Hall, Juan Estevan
Arellano, Estella Leopold, Norma Elia Cantu, Jan Reid, and Dan
Flores illuminate the images.
