Friday, June 12, 2020 was a big day if you are a fan of ROBERTOREG! We published the first version of THE ROBERTOREG READER and it was 228 pages! That's with no editing and no illustrations. Right now I'm thinking the final version will be between 250 and 300 pages. A list of the works being considered for final publication has been prepared and the wheels of progress are turning! Please consider me as a 2021 speaker for your civic organization. I'd appreciate to have the opportunity to sell my book and I'll do my best to put on a good show. "Robert Register, a Dothan native and Tuscaloosa 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.  In 2005, Register assisted author Greg Haynes in doing the research for Hayne's book THE HEEEY BABY DAYS OF BEACH MUSIC. This work rekindled Register's interest in THE OLD DUTCH. After retirement in 2012, Register wrote several articles for PANAMA CITY LIVING magazine, including ROADHOUSE BLUES AT THE OLD DUTCH. 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."
