Writer Pens Book about Local Landmark

"I was inspired to write Corrigans’ Pool by my great love of American history, especially the Civil war era in which many of my ancestors fought on both sides," writes area author Dot Ryan. "I grew up listening to my paternal and maternal grandmothers’ stories, passed down from generation to generation, about life in those days. I knew early on that someday I would write historical novels about all eras of American history."

Dot Ryan was raised in Beeville and Skidmore and now resides in Corpus Christi where she is busy writing her second and third works of historical fiction. Read more in The Story Behind Corrigans’ Pool by Dot Ryan.
