This is the story of a house, ""Brierfield,"" and incidentally of a
man, Jefferson Davis, and his family. The author traces the story
of ""Brierfield"" from its construction in the antebellum period to
its final disappearance in the twentieth century, a victim of war,
floods, and fire. Most people associate Jefferson Davis with
""Beauvoir,"" his home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in the years
after 1865, but ""Brierfield"" was his home during the most
productive years of his life. We see Davis here as a young planter,
a United States Representative and Senator, a Mexican War hero,
United States Secretary of War, and President of the Confederate
States of America. The tangled web of relationships involving
Davis, his second wife, Varina Howell of Natchez, and his older
brother and substitute father, Joseph Davis of nearby ""Hurricane
Plantation,"" unfolds against the physical setting of ""Brierfield.
