A new coffee table book featuring Caddo Lake pairs a veteran East Texas writer and photographer, both who have a long affection for the lake.
Lufkin native Thad Sitton and Dallas photographer Carolyn Brown worked together for several years on the book “Caddo: Visions of a Southern Cypress Lake.” The project, funded by musician and Caddo Lake guardian Don Henley, is published by Texas A&M University Press.
Sitton first started writing about Caddo Lake in the 1980s. For “Caddo,” he combed through all the scientific research on file at the Caddo Lake Institute. Sitton incorporated oral histories. He spent 20 days on the lake, alone in his canoe to get the story right.
