Wow, thank you so much, Alana, for sharing this!
Friends, it was Alane's Silver Bluff research which inspired the creation of the Africana Heritage Project website back in 2004. She has been a pioneer in the field of plantation community research.

Everyone, you might find the following website useful in locating names of Soldiers and Sailors in the Civil War - especially those in the United States Colored Troops. (www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/)
