I recently discovered a wonderful book titled A History of Navigation on Cypress Bayou and the Lakes.  This 822 page book, written by Jacques D. Bagur, was published by University of North Texas Press in 2001.  As a person intensely interested in the area encompassing Caddo Lake, I am finding this thoroughly researched work not only invaluable, but often the only place to turn for information about the lake.  Little is known, for instance, of a stop on Caddo Lake known as Port Caddo.  A check of the internet will find few references of this tiny ghost town.  While still largely shrouded in mystery, Port Caddo gains a reality and a location in Bagur's book.  Although slightly expensive because it is so big, A History of Navigation on Cypress Bayou and the Lakes is well researched, easy to read, hard to put down, and very interesting.  I highly recommend that every Caddophile obtain a copy of this book.
