Few of you are familiar with Isaac McKeever (1791-1858) but as a U.S. Navy officer of Commodore Patterson's anti-piracy squadron in the Gulf, McKeever made his mark in the shallow water of the Mississippi Sound and the mouth of Mobile Bay from 1814 to 1818, Dauphin Island's first formative years of being an American port. McKeever is the subject of this week's DAUPHIN ISLAND HISTORY post. Please check out his story. http://dauphinislandhistory.blogspot.com
