Dear Colleagues,

I write to pass along the sad news that Jack Temple Kirby died unexpectedly
last Thursday August 6.  Professor Kirby was W. E. Smith Professor of History
at Miami University Ohio. Many will know him from his books Poquosin: A Study
of Rural Landscape and Society and his Bancroft prize winning Mockingbird Song:
Ecological Landscapes of the South. I did not know professor Kirby, who retired
to Florida before I came to Miami University. But I can report that he was
genuinely liked and respected by colleagues and students.

Regards, Kevin C.Armitage
