Angel Falls by Kathryn Casey

Patricia Hubbard

Ruth Robertson's life has inspired a book: ANGEL FALLS, by bestselling author Kathryn Casey. While the book is historical fiction, Casey relied heavily on research materials from the Ruth Robertson collection at the University of Texas-Austin's Harry Ransom Center. ANGEL FALLS starts with Ruth living in Brazoria County, Texas, near the end of her life, and her earlier years - including the expedition to the falls - form an alternating plotline.

Here's a link to Casey's book on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/bdet53ya
