Nature lovers will enjoy an adventure well off the beaten path, and amateurs of wild and dramatic photography will be wowed. The Neches is an East Texas river whose chaotic beauty and wildness has been uniquely preserved. Charles Kruvand and fellow photographer Adrian Van Dellen canoed the length of the river and camped on its swampy shores in all seasons, through droughts and floods, and they fell in love: the Neches with its mystifying wooded banks is a piece of paradise. I especially loved Kruvand’s description of his encounter with the river residents, birds, and insects in their native habitat, as it is full of poetic sensitivity. A snapping turtle locks onto a carp and the fish seems to be sending the author distress signals. An alligator stands threateningly by the two men’s camp and Kruvand theorizes that it is protecting a nearby beaver nursery from where kitten-like chirps can be heard. In all, a very charming account of an intrepid adventure on a chaotic and vibrant river that hasn’t fallen to development yet, but also a warning that it is up to us to preserve such natural beauty for future generations.
I have long loved Charles Kruvand’s photographs, the way he captures the spirit and beauty of Texas waters. In Riverwoods: Exploring the Wild Neches, we are graced with more of his exquisite images. The difference this time is that he chronicles not just with images but with words. And what a sprightly, invigorating writer he is. He begins by explaining that he was little inclined at first to explore this lowland river system, preferring ‘crystalline waters’ and ‘good-looking rivers’ to the mocha-colored Neches and its overflow bottomlands. But having been persuaded to the task, he falls hard for this lowland river system, all the more when he learns how imperiled it is, and how ravishing. As he takes us along for twelve months of exploring the bewitchment that is the Neches in all its seasons, prepare to be delighted, and deeply moved. His marveling love for this place, his light-drenched photographs by day, the harrowing screechings and mysterious dragging sounds outside his tent by night, the deep and deeply researched kinship he pursues with flora and fauna, the unfolding friendship between him and his guide—priceless. And such a friendship! The two men share the same passion for photography and for blending as thoroughly as they can with wild places. Whatever the sacrifice of comfort and ease, they share the same all-in determination to preserve that which may well be lost, if someone doesn’t care, and take concrete action. But in Charles we have a poet-mystic, someone who sees both the fact and the poignantly lyrical in crayfish and carp, the stern spirituality of army ant and armadillo. In Adrian Van Dellen we have an ascetic no-nonsense man of science, who insists that much as he loves them—in another life he was a veterinarian—animals are nothing like us. The mutually tolerant interactions of these two men around this difference in outlook are engagingly told, as are their adventures in this wild and wonderful part of our heritage.
Judging by the cover this is not an unusual book. It’s a large format photography book about the Neches River in East Texas. Amazon lists it under the following categories: sports & outdoors, outdoor recreation, canoeing, rivers… I have glanced through many such books over the years—on friend’s coffee tables, in doctor’s offices, in bookstores, at the library — always focusing on the images. I have never read such a book cover to cover. I may have read a paragraph here and there for context, but wouldn’t think of reading one front to back. What a yawn! Life is short. The text in most such books is there, let’s face it, to fill the unavoidable whitespace that remains when all the photographs have been laid out. It’s the literary equivalent of parsley. But not this book. I met Charles in a writing workshop and read drafts of the manuscript as the book developed over several years. I by no means want to diminish the photographs which are lovely—see for example Cypress Roots, page 69 and Ghost Tree, page 159—but if I were being sent into exile and forced to choose between the photos and text, I would take the text.Riverwoods is a very personal wilderness memoir. Charles and his fellow photographer, Adrian van Dellen, spent one hundred and eighty-two nights on the river, canoeing the Neches in every month and season of the year. There is a long introduction to the book by Thad Sitton, but I suggest you dive straight into Charles’ account and save Sitton’s intro for later. Along for the ride on Charles’ and Adrian’s adventures, you get to know both men, and through them, the Neches, the last wild river in Texas. On one trip you experience a drought so severe that advancing downriver means portaging again and again over logjams. In a later chapter, you witness severe floods that dramatically widen the river and leave flotsam hanging far up in the trees. Charles describes natural beauty as well as any nature writer living or dead. Here are some snippets: insects hummed like static, bull-headed clouds, Cyprus knees arranged like soldiers, Kinglets flashed in brilliant catches of feathery sunshine. A tree frog’s eyes are—dark marbles speckled with flecks of golden foil. He recounts a water snake and bass locked in mortal combat—lurching a foot off the ground and battering themselves against the rocky shore. Great-blue Herons mob a bald eagle—like a squadron of long necked fighter jets. If you read poetry you will like this book. Charles’ narrative is funny, frequently mischievous, poetic and above all, a powerful argument for why we need wildness and why this unique habitat should be protected.The narrative, descriptions and photographs work in concert to create an incredible sense of place. When you finish the book, you will feel you’ve canoed the river yourself (although, by all means, see it in person). But wait you say, isn’t that in East Texas? Yes, the Neches River is in East Texas. If Austin is the modern new south, East Texas is still very much the old south. But it is precisely because East Texas is cloistered far from urban modernism that pristine habitats like the Neches can still thrive there. This book is an opportunity to explore what East Texas has to offer. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.
