We all have many facets to our personalities. A facet is defined as an aspect or phase, or, as in jewelry, a particular visible surface or face. Things and places such as rivers can also have many diverse facets or faces which might be perceived as positive or negative. The Red River of Texoma is no exception, it has many different faces; some benevolent, some fearsome. Faces are perceived many different ways according to the eye of the beholder and his or her perspective. Also like faces, the river is ever changing, remaining fascinating no matter how long it is observed. This book will attempt to examine The Many Faces of Texoma’s Red River.
