The San Marcos:
A River's Story

The San Marcos springs have flowed for around ten million years. In this ode to the river they form, Jim Kimmel brings us a picture of a watercourse brimming with life, past and present. Native, non-native, prehistoric, and modern-day plants, animals, and people have inhabited the river and its banks. Kimmel, who is Jones Professor of Southwestern Studies at Texas State, touches on them all with the affectionate and knowledgeable voice of one whose own life has been closely linked to the San Marcos River.
