Robert Register, a Dothan native and Dauphin Island resident, spent his working career in the Tuscaloosa area, the first two decades teaching life sciences in Alabama's public schools and community colleges and the last decade working in property maintenance. At the end of his teaching career, he began writing articles about Alabama's formative years for OLD TUSCALOOSA MAGAZINE. This work led to his publishing "Andrew Ellicott's Observations While Serving on the Southern Boundary Commission: 1796-1800" in the May 1997 Gulf Coast Historical Review, a journal focusing on the history of the coastal region from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana. This publication resulted in Mr. Register writing the text for the historic marker of the SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE U.S. 1795-1819 which is located beside U.S. Highway 231 South just above Campbellton as well as his writing the text for the plaque for Ellicott's Line in the State of Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame. Register discovered blogging in 2003 and he has used this internet tool daily since then to share his ideas under the Internet handle of ROBERTOREG. After retirement in 2012, Register wrote several articles for PANAMA CITY LIVING magazine, including The Civil War Salt Makers of St. Andrews Bay: The Salt of the Earth . In September of 2013, Mr. Register published an article entitled CENTENNIAL in CRIMSON MAGAZINE, the magazine of the Tide Nation. This article represented the magazine's commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. In January 2018, Register partnered with retired University of Georgia professor James Hargrove on two articles concerning the War of 1812 in Northwest Florida which were published in the Apalachicola Times. In preparation for tonight's presentation about Confederate salt making on St. Andrews Bay, he has prepared a blog with links to most of the sources he used in his research. The blog is called ST. ANDREWS BAY DURING THE CIVIL WAR and its address is https://flowerpower2.blogspot.com/
