Description

In a stunning tribute to considered one of Texas’ most enigmatic waterways, a veteran East Texas historian and a pro photographer have together created an homage to a lake like no other—half Texas, half Louisiana, a swampy labyrinth of bald cypress and water plants stuffed with mystery, legend, and a staggering amount of biological complexity.

Classified as a Category 1 Habitat for Flora and fauna by the United States Fish and Flora and fauna Service and encompassing a state Flora and fauna management area in addition to a state park, Caddo Lake and adjacent areas have also been designated as a Ramsar Website online under the international convention to preserve world-class wetlands and their waterfowl. In both words and pictures, creator Thad Sitton and photographer Carolyn Brown have captured the human, animal, and plant life of Caddo, in addition to the history of the lake itself, better likened to an ever-changing network of cypress woodlands, bayou-like channels, water-plant meadows, and hardwood bottoms covered kind of by water.
