Rivers

The rivers flowing "deep in the heart of Texas" form both the literal context and the metaphorical meaning for these stories and poems by The Brazos Highwayman and contributing author, Mahatma Michael. Having adopted the name of one of these rivers early in his life, Brazos tells the tales of family and personal history spanning over 150 years, from the Civil War to the present.In this collection, with his characteristic subtle and not-so-subtle humor, Brazos blends the worlds of history, possum hunting, turn-of-the-century dirt farmers and high level engineering conferences. These stories form a few of the tributaries to the river of life that each of us experiences and crafts as we wind our way through the mountains and valleys to the Ocean.
