Ten years ago, Thomas Holm read Scott O'Dell's novel Island of the Blue Dolphins with his fourth-grade daughter.
That experience led to him to research California's indigenous mariners, including the "Nicoleno" of San Nicolas Island, which is the real setting of O'Dell's book. That ten year journey, from elementary school field trip, to claims of improprieties, to the enactment of new preservation laws, will be addressed by Holm as he presents his new book entitled, Shrouded Heritage: Island of the Blue Dolphins.
