Check out my first book, Running the River: Secrets of the Sabine, at www.sabineriverbook.com or Amazon.com. Praise for the book:

“The Sabine River has been like an artery to my heart for many years, and I felt I knew it, but Wes Ferguson’s new book, which compares favorably to John Graves’s Goodbye to a River, is a shining example of travelogue, history, and a fine piece of Americana, and it taught me I know far less about the Sabine than I thought. I adored this book. It’s a good clean picture of a long, brown snake of a river. I heartily recommend it.” — Joe R. Lansdale, author, The Thicket

“Anybody can love a lovely river, but to love the muddy, sluggish, dangerous, corrupted Sabine you have to first understand it. In this highly engaging tribute to an underdog river, Wes Ferguson proves that the places we might not think merit a second glance are the very places that reward our attention the most.” — Stephen Harrigan, author, The Eye of the Mammoth

  1. I would like to talk to you about coming to Houston and talk at out meeting and do a book signing, We usually have about about 50 members and could invite the could Houston Sea Association of Sea Kayakers

  2. My dad , Larry Karr, is pictured on page 87. He passed away in August of last year, but he sure thought he had hit celebrity status with your book! He was a wonderful man and we miss him dearly, so thank you for this treasure! The river was his happy place and we definitely feel closest to him there.
