Richard Kirkland–Angel or Hoax? Nov. 6, 2011, historian Mac Wyckoff spoke on the provocative topic and his extensive research to show that he felt a significant event had occurred during the Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia.  Richard Kirkland, a Confederate sergeant from Kershaw County, is remembered in history as “The Angel of Marye’s Heights”  for risking  his life during the battle to take water to wounded and dying enemy soldiers. He also presented a dynamic new film documentary on Kirkland’s deed, The Angel of Marye’s Heights. The program was enjoyed in the auditorium at Camden High School.
