Book excerpt: As a young teamster on a pack-mule train, the author saw the Rio Grande's Big Bend for the first time in 1916, and it captured his imagination forever. After half a century of photography, his superlative collection of nine thousand images ended up at the University of Texas at Austin, and in 1976 more than one hundred of these were reproduced in this book, a critically acclaimed work that until now has long been out of print.
