A wonderful book: essays mostly about the Texas Hill Country (home of the world's best peaches). Full of innumerable delightful tidbits of information: for example, the federal government program that encouraged Texas ranchers to build stock ponds to save runoff in the 50's extended the range of the Vermilion Flycatcher hundreds of miles into West Texas. The Mexicans call this bird La Cobracita del Fuego. Regards, J.R.
