Many things in the past have come together to make Austin the city it is today. In a series of blogs, I'm going to revisit them.
Bedichek. Dobie. Webb. Three friends whose names ring in Austin history. A naturalist, a writer and folklorist, an historian. They are remembered by Austin in a statute called "Philosopher's Rock" that shows these great men, in swimming attire, engaged in one of their favorite activities, discussing ideas, at one of their favorite places, a flat rock at Barton Springs Pool.
Their spirits, it seems, still wander in Austin, watching over the city, keeping it just a bit iconoclastic in these modern times. May they always be with us.
