The Padre Island Story
by Loraine Daly, Pat Reumert
About the author
Pat Reumert is known as the coauthor, with Loraine Daly, of The Padre Island Story, a short history of Padre Island and the surrounding Texas coastal region. The book was published in the 1960s and later appeared in revised form, and it remains the main work reliably connected with her name.
From the book itself and later catalog listings, Reumert appears to have focused on presenting Padre Island in an accessible, story-driven way, blending regional history, natural features, and local color for general readers. Her writing helped preserve a snapshot of how the island and nearby communities were understood in that era.
Very little biographical information about Pat Reumert appears to be readily documented in major public reference sources. Because of that, she is best introduced through the book she helped create and the lasting interest it has had among readers of Texas and coastal history.
