DAVIS, JEFFERSON
(1808 - 1889) President of the Confederacy who led his armies beyond the surrender at Appomattox. Scarce book from his library, The Southern Review, Vol. II - No. 3, Baltimore: Bledsoe and Browne, July, 1867, signed ""Jeffer: Davis"" on the title page. This is a paper wrap edition totaling 250pp. containing critical commentary about Davis' political and military leadership before and during the war. Printed two months after his release from prison, Davis most likely used this book to judge the public's opinion of him during his imprisonment. Housed in a custom quarter morocco slipcase. Weak at spine with some minor water stains throughout, else very good.
