"This book is a joint effort of four Kirkland searchers who believe they are all (husband, in one case) descendants of the Richard Kirkland family living in Fairfax Co., Va., in the early 1700's. By way of N.C., some of his sons and possibly daughters, came into South Carolina. One of these sons was named Richard, who died in South Carolina in 1774. This Richard was the father of the notorious Moses Kirkland who turned Tory and is probably the most written about Kirkland there is. Over the years we have collected many Kirkland records. We are sure that some of these definitely belong to this family, but we have many that may or may not. Mrs. Green suggested that we compile our records into a book to share with others and call it a source book ..."--Foreword (leaf after t.p., v. 1).

First published in 1995 by the South Carolina Historical Society, Broken Fortunes was the first of two landmark Civil War research projects carried out by Randolph W. Kirkland, Jr. Highly prized by collectors and historians, both of Kirkland's monumental projects have now been restored to print as Civil War Sesquicentennial Editions by the University of South Carolina Press. Representing more than a decade of research, Kirkland's Broken Fortunes compiles the records of some 18,666 soldiers, sailors and other South Carolina citizens who gave their lives to the Confederate States of America and to the state of South Carolina. Included in these records are the individuals' names, ages, ranks, units, home districts, places and causes of death, and more. The information here compiled offers invaluable data for Civil War researchers and enthusiasts, genealogists, local historians, and others. It is the most complete record ever published of South Carolinians who died in service to the Confederacy.
This beautifully written book argues that educators need to understand the social worlds and complex literacy practices of African-American males in order to pay the increasing educational debt we owe all youth and break the school-to-prison pipeline. Moving portraits from the lives of six friends bring to life the structural characteristics and qualities of meaning-making practices, particularly practices that reveal the political tensions of defining who gets to be literate and who does not. Key chapters on language, literacy, race, and masculinity examine how the literacies, languages, and identities of these friends are shaped by the silences of societal denial. Ultimately, A Search Past Silence is a passionate call for educators to listen to the silenced voices of Black youth and to re-imagine the concept of being literate in a multicultural democratic society.
