Property Description: “..but if you go to the river (Brazos) at all…You tend not to be in a hurry there; you learned long since not to be.” – John Graves, Goodbye to a River: A Narrative. The Brazos River is a special place. Graves said it well many times over in his narrative of his journeys on the river as he recanted the many tales of Indians and settlers roaming the land in search of a way to provide for themselves and others in life.
