The Rio Grande was ancient long before the first humans reached its banks. These days, the highly regulated river looks nothing like it did to those early settlers. Alternately viewed as a valuable ecosystem and life-sustaining foundation of community welfare or a commodity to be engineered to yield maximum economic benefit, the Rio Grande has brought many advantages to those who live in its valley, but the benefits have come at a price. This study examines human interactions with the Rio Grande from prehistoric time to the present day and explores what possibilities remain for the desert river. From the perspectives of law, development, tradition, and geology, the authors weigh what has been gained and lost by reining in the Rio Grande.

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.
