Includes Bibliography

Laura Gilpin's photographic study of the Rio Grande reveals economic and cultural life, human and geologic differences, history, the future and the physical beauty of life in the Rio Grande Valley.

The Rio Grande: River of Destiny, is a monumental study of the Rio Grande and the people along its banks: "Near the once-fabulous, now-ghost town of Creede, Colorado, flow the springs and the trickles of melting snow which make the Rio Grande. Here at 14,000 feet, is born a river which irrigates 1,751,700 acres of farmland in the United States and Mexico. In the course of its violent, precipitous, meandering, laze descent to the Gulf of Mexico 1800 miles away, the Rio Grande is beauty and history and legend and economics and social problems - a touchstone river of American life, a river of destiny indeed." -- Excerpt from Book Jacket.
