Big Bend National Park and Vicinity
The Rio Grande makes a large bend into Mexico and forms the boot heel of Texas that is the Big Bend.
Big Bend National Park nestles inside this meander, and its history is as much a part of Mexico as it is of Texas. The remote border location is historically replete with rich cultural diversity, including nomadic bands of Native Americans, Spanish explorers, Mexican and Anglo farmers, ranchers, miners, military men, and entrepreneurs. In the 1930s, a handful of people saw the Big Bend's majestic ruggedness as a place where all Americans could touch the Creator in nature and appreciate the alien qualities that both test and console the human spirit. This remote frontier still draws the souls of those seeking wide-open vistas and crystal-clear night skies. Enjoy the rich history of Big Bend National Park in this collection of 15 historic black-and-white postcards.
