1914. Dixon's earlier works including The Clansman, which was made
into the movie, Birth of A Nation, made his reputation as the
anti-black novelist for the Jim Crow south. Dixon writes To The
Reader: In the historical romance which I have woven of the
dramatic events of the life of Jefferson Davis I have drawn his
real character unobscured by passion or prejudice. Forced by his
people to lead their cause, his genius created an engine of war so
terrible in its power that through it five million Southerners,
without money, without a market, without credit, withstood for four
years the shock of twenty million men of their own blood and of
equal daring, backed by boundless resources. The achievement is
without a parallel in history, and adds new glory to the records of
our race. The scenes have all been drawn from authentic records in
my possession. I have not at any point taken a liberty with an
essential detail of history. See other titles by this author
