Donald E. Collins
Illustrated, 216 pp., 2005. Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 4501 Forbes Boulevard, Suite 200, Lanham, MD 20706, $24.95 plus shipping.
The past two decades has witnessed a resurgence of interest in the first and only president of the Confederacy. Two authors in a recent book of Davis' correspondence described him as "the most misunderstood figure of the Civil War."
If that description was once true, it is no longer. Donald Collins' study sheds fascinating new light on the much maligned and "misunderstood" Mississippian and his place in the Southern pantheon of champions of the old Confederacy.
...
Collins also does a good job explaining Davis' military accomplishments during the Mexican War and his political career, which included his distinguished tenure as secretary of war in President Franklin Pierce's administration, and his key role as senator from Mississippi.
...
Collins plumbed manuscript and newspaper sources deeply, and used them to create a compelling personal account of the Southern president's final hours - and beyond. -
