Jefferson Davis Jefferson Davis
Da Capo Press 1995 030680638X / 9780306806384 Paperback Good
"clean, tight, unmarked, spine has a close tear, top edge was bumped and shows handling all around the edges. Some soiling.() This fascinating collection of intimate letters from and to Jefferson Davis (1808–1889) illuminates the character and personality of the President of the Confederacy. These letters (the majority appearing fully in print for the first time) range widely over one of the most turbulent periods in American history, from his fifteenth year to his death at eighty-one. Here is Jefferson Davis in all aspects: in love and in house slippers: as wounded war hero: at dramatic heights of statesmanship: in grief over four dead sons: refusing Lee's resignation after Gettysburg and expressing unwavering confidence: as shackled prisoner, stoic survivor, generous friend, adoring father and husband. Equally revealing are the letters written to him by such notable figures as Franklin Pierce, Zachary Taylor, Judah P. Benjamin, General and Mrs. Robert E. Lee, Davis's children, an ID: mon0000094756"
