Much of Jefferson Davis' life and career has been obscured in
controversy and misinterpretation. This full, carefully annotated
edition will make it possible for scholars to reassess the man who
served as President of the Confederacy and who in the aftermath of
war became the symbolic leader of the South.
For almost a decade a dedicated team of scholars has been
collecting and documenting Davis' papers and correspondence for
this multi-volume work. The first volume includes not only Davis'
private and public correspondence but also the important letters
and documents addressed to and concerning him. Two autobiographical
accounts, a detailed genealogy of the Davis family, and a complete
bibliography are also included.
This volume covers Davis' early years in Mississippi and
Kentucky, his career at West Point, his first military assignments,
and his tragic marriage to Sarah Knox Taylor. Together, the letters
and documents unfold a human story of the first thirty-two years of
a long life that later became filled with turbulence and
controversy.
