Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last nine months of the Civil War, virtually all of the news reports and President Jefferson Davis’s correspondence confirmed the imminent demise of the Confederate States, the nation Davis had striven to uphold since 1861. But despite defeat after defeat on the battlefield, a recalcitrant Congress, nay-sayers in the press, disastrous financial conditions, failures in foreign policy and peace efforts, and plummeting national morale, Davis remained in office and tried to maintain the government—even after the fall of Richmond on April 2—until his capture by Union forces on May 10, 1865. The eleventh volume of The Papers of Jefferson Davis follows these tumultuous last months of the Confederacy and illuminates Davis’s policies, feelings, ideas, and relationships, as well as the viewpoints of hundreds of southerners—critics and supporters—who asked favors, pointed out abuses, and offered advice on myriad topics. Printed here for the first time are many speeches and a number of new letters and telegrams. In the course of the volume, Robert E. Lee officially becomes general in chief, Joseph E. Johnston is given a final command, legislation is enacted to place slaves in the army as soldiers, and peace negotiations are opened at the highest levels. The closing pages chronicle Davis’s dramatic flight from Richmond, including emotional correspondence with his wife as the two endeavor to find each other en route and make plans for the future in the wreckage of their lives. The holdings of seventy different manuscript repositories and private collections in addition to numerous published sources contribute to Volume 11, the fifth in the Civil War period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jeff Davis (Late a Senator From Arkansas): Memorial Addresses Delivered in the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United Stated, Sixty-Second Congress, Third Session The Chaplain, Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, D. D., offered the following prayer: O Thou who hearest prayer, hearken unto us, we beseech Thee, as we make our morning supplication. Thou knowest our frame, Thou rememberest that we are dust. Thou hast made us to know how frail we arc, and how brief and uncertain is our tenure in these houses of clay. Thou hast called from our midst a Member of this Senate, making us to know anew that the way of man is not in himself alone, and that it is not in us who walk to direct our steps. And to whom may we turn, our Father, but to Thee who boldest us in Thy keeping, living or dying? We humbly commit ourselves to Thee, praying that Thou wilt keep us evermore in Thy love and uphold us with Thy spirit. And now may God, our Father, who hast loved us with an everlasting love, and who hast called us into His eternal kingdom in Christ, comfort our hearts and establish them in every good word and in every good work. Unto Him be glory and honor, dominion and power, now and forevermore. Amen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
