Description

1866 1ed Prison Life of Jefferson Davis Civil War Slavery Confederate President

"A sympathetic account of Davis's confinement at Fortress Monroe; by the physician assigned to attend him; includes several long conversations." (Nevins)

A rare first edition of the “Prison Life of Jefferson Davis” by John Joseph Craven. According to Sabin, this first edition was printed on both small and large paper and includes a “Political Letter written to a Citizen of Illinois.” This work also ‘helped cement Davis’s image as a Lost Cause martyr.” (Boritt, Holzer). It was

“written by the physician in attendance during the imprisonment in Fortress Monroe…A kind of diary of the daily life, giving the gist of conversations. Written by a Union man, but sympathetic and forgiving. Unlikely to please the rabid element of either side.” (Larned, Lit. of Am. History).

Includes full-page woodcut engraving of Davis in prison.
