Steve,
I got your email address from Nancy Dupree at the Americana Collection.
I'm working with the town of Dauphin Island and the Dauphin Island Chamber of Commerce to develop a museum to be housed in Dauphin Island's little red schoolhouse which is about to be removed from it's location by the public beach and moved east down Bienville Boulevard where it will be elevated over a wetland lot across from town hall.
As a way to promote the idea of Dauphin Island having its own museum to go along with the Estuarium and Ft. Gaines, I'm proposing we put together a "Dauphin Island Reader". This would be a book that would include some stunning Dauphin Island graphics along with an annotation of at least 4 different publications:
1. THE DEVELOPMENT OF DAUPHIN ISLAND by S. Blake McNeely https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.dauphinislandhistory.org/images/dev_di_coc_pt1.pdf
(I've already begun the annotation of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce's Nomenclature Committee's list of each street name's connection to Dauphin Island http://dauphinislandhistory.blogspot.com
2. Francis Young's UNDER FIVE FLAGS http://www.dauphinislandhistory.org/n_under5flags.htm
(It's really should read "UNDER SIX FLAGS" because the Republic of Alabama seized Ft. Gaines before the formation of the Confederate States of America )
3. Richebourg McWilliams' HISTORY OF DAUPHIN ISLAND https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.dauphinislandhistory.org/images/mcwill_hist.pdf
4. Jack D.L. Holmes' DAUPHIN ISLAND'S CRITICAL YEARS https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.dauphinislandhistory.org/al_quarterly39_48.pdf
The A.S. Williams III Americana Collection has the Jack D.L. Holmes Dauphin Island collection.
It is my opinion that we could benefit from any advice you may have on how we should proceed with this project.
Best,
Robert Register
