The Saltmarsh Press was established on St. Simons Island by Victor Howard, Ph.D., and his wife Margaret Birney upon Dr. Howard's retirement from Michigan State where, in addition to research and teaching, he was involved in the university press. Now, after more than a decade, they themselves have retired from publishing, but not The Press. The Saltmarsh Press remains active as an independent publisher of local and regional history.

Brunswick: A Book of Memories
"I drove into Brunswick for the first time in February 1996 and was immediately drawn to the tattered elegance of the downtown.... I continued on to the residential neighborhoods in the south end and saw beside and beneath the massive canopies of ancient Live Oaks grand Victorian homes beside Craftsman bungalows beside WWII era brick homes adjacent to classsic southern shotguns. In a slightly jumbled and oddly appealing way I was getting a 25 mph rolling snapshot of the history of a community.
"This came to a sudden end when I had to stop for a tree in the street. Not a tree laying in the street, but quietly growing in the street.... I was of course intrigued by a community that would unceremoniously let trees reside in the streets, as there were many others all around town. At that moment I knew I really liked Brunswick....I wanted to live in Brunswick...."
— Bryan Thompson, Mayor of Brunswick
