About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Tales of a Vanishing River by Earl Reed. Read in English by Tom Hirsch The background of this collection of sketches and stories is the country through which flowed one of the most interesting of our western rivers before its destruction as a natural waterway. This book is not a history. It is intended as an interpretation of the life along the river that the author has come in contact with during many years of familiarity with the region. Names of places and characters have been changed for the reason that, while effort has been made to adhere to artistic truth, literary liberties have been taken with facts when they have not seemed essential to the story. - Summary by Earl H. Reed
