    About this ebook

    For the first time in eBook: The memoirs of Varina Davis, wife of Confederate leader Jefferson Davis and subject of Charles Frazier’s bestselling novel Varina. From his days as a West Point Cadet, through his military and political career in both the United and Confederate States governments and concluding with their relative seclusion after the Civil War, the lives of Jefferson and Varina are told over two volumes. While many injustices—both real and perceived—against the Confederate leader are rigorously defended throughout, the overall work is clear-eyed, and rich in detail and scope. Varina Davis is far from an impartial biographer, but there is much behind-the-scenes material to attract lovers of Civil War history.

    Varina Davis

    Varina Anne Banks Howell Davis (1826 – 1906) was the only First Lady of the Confederate States of America. The second wife of President Jefferson Davis, she lived in Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederate States, from 1861, to the final months of the American Civil War. With family ties on both sides of the conflict she supported slavery and states' rights, but was equivocal about the war. After the Civil War, Davis worked as a writer and had a regular column for the New York World. She compiled and edited her husband’s memoirs and released them in 1890.
