River Walk untangles the story of the evolution of San Antonio's River into a travel destination for five million visitors each year. Of the 230 illustrations, many in color, dozens are historical images never before published. They help document how the river was revived from the sluggish trickle of a century ago to become a world-renowned model for river development. Included is the most complete account—dramatically illustrated—of the Flood of 1921, San Antonio's greatest cataclysm, which led to flood control measures that made the River Walk possible.
