The contents of this book are a moving tribute to the honorable life and illustrious political career of the beloved first President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis. Collected in these pages are the fond memories of his friends and former associates, as well as some of the many eulogies that were published in newspapers throughout the South, and even in the North, following his death. No Southern library should be without this exceptional volume.

When the Civil War ended, Jefferson Davis had fallen from the heights of popularity to the depths of despair. In this fascinating new book, Donald E. Collins explores the resurrection of Davis to heroic status in the hearts of white Southerners culminating in one of the grandest funeral processions the nation had ever seen. As schools closed and bells tolled along the thousand mile route, Southerners appeared en masse to bid a final farewell to the man who championed Southern secession and ardently defended the Confederacy.
