The Nueces River: Río Escondido
By Margie Crisp with artwork by William B. Montgomery
In this collaborative work. Montgomery and his wife, author and artist Margie Crisp, follow the river from its fresh, clear headwaters on the Edwards Plateau, through the mesquite and prickly pear of the South Texas Plains, to the river’s end in Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays on the Gulf of Mexico. Through vivid prose and paintings, they record their travels as they explore the length of the river on foot, in kayaks, and fishing boat, ultimately weaving a portrait of today’s Nueces. Capturing the river’s subtle beauty, abundant wildlife, diverse culture and unique history of exploration, conflict and settlement, they reveal the untold story of this enigmatic river with passion, humor, and reverence. Twenty five original works of art including oil paintings, watercolors and ink drawings.
