The Blanco Blues

A blue heeler, a blue boat and a long Winter float.

Texas A&M University Press has published a gorgeous new book about the Blanco River. Buy your copy from Amazon, Texas A&M University Press Press, BookPeople and other bookstores.

“Ferguson’s book is both a trustworthy guide into the rich and hidden history of the Blanco and a reminder of its sudden, destructive power. It also serves as a warning of the river’s extinction in the path of unchecked development. A captivating, necessary read for anyone who values this Texas treasure.”—Bryan Mealer, New York Times best-selling author of Muck City and The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
