Book Guide

During America's great Civil War, Jefferson Davis was President of the Confederate States. The Southern states felt that they had the right to extend slavery and leave the Union. Jefferson Davis believed this, too.

In this easy-to-read story, Mrs. Martin tells of Jefferson Davis' life as a schoolboy, army man, senator and plantation owner. Although he lived as he had been taught to live, Jefferson Davis must also be remembered as a man who fought to extend slavery.
