Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dixon Abraham Lincoln Jefferson Davis Tradition But if Davis had been given a furlough, how could he enjoy it and fight through the war at the same time, statement or no statement and speech or no speech, to the contrary? Another almost remarkable, and at the same time altogether pleasant, explanation came to the rescue through the great kindness of George Wilson, of Lexington, Missouri, when we bumped into each other as we did during my long years of exploration. George Wilson laid the story before me: His father, Lieu tenant George Wilson, was stationed at Fort Crawford Prairie du Chien - in 1832, and, with the troops of Zachary Taylor and General Atkinson, came to Dixon. He was the chum and confidant of Davis and delivered letters between Davis and Miss Taylor when an elopement was contemplated. Davis had started down the Mississippi for Kentucky on his furlough, but when at or near Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, he met Atkinson and his troops preparing for their departure up-stream on April 8th, once more to drive back Black Hawkwho was preparing for another raid into Illinois, he abandoned his furlough and returned to Fort Armstrong with Atkinson. With this positive explanation, I should have felt justified in handing our debunking friend, who was trying to steal old Dixon's glory, a piece of my mind. Fortunately I kept still, because Wilson was mistaken. With the further information I secured from Washington, I learned that Davis left Fort Crawford March 26, 1832, on his sixty-day furlough and went straight to Mississippi, where he passed the sixty - day period. Once more I found myself at sea, struggling not only with this later information but with the almost hope less odds added that on May 26, the day of the expiration of his furlough, Davis applied for the four months additional period allowed in his original furlough if desired. Furthermore I learned that this application for the additional four months had been allowed on July 21, just a few days before the termi nation of the war. I have a photostatic copy of Davis application and here it is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Thomas Dixon, author of The Clansman (made into D.W. Griffith's famous Birth of a Nation film), wrote parallel pieces of Abraham Lincoln's life, and a longer parallel piece of the career of Jefferson Davis. Neither one of these men ran for office with the intention of being war presidents, yet they both were embroiled in sometimes strikingly similar situations. Both brought integrity to their unexpected callings, and the stories show the growth into office that both experienced. These are the stories behind the story, and Dixon appears to be the right person to tell it.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the effectiveness of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis as Commanders in Chief during the Civil War. It begins by comparing their backgrounds prior to assuming the Presidency; then comparing their military strategies and command structures. The final area of comparison is their involvement in the first military draft in American history. Davis had extensive government and military experience, but exhibited personality traits early on that later hampered his performance as a war-time Commander in Chief. Lincoln had very little experience, but excelled at dealing with people. Lincoln tried several staff arrangements before finally appointing Grant as General in Chief. Davis changed his structure very little throughout the war. Although he appointed Lee as General in Chief in the first year, he lost his services by placing him in command of a field army. Both faced strong challenges from a powerful governor over the draft. Davis first tried to win over the governor, then appealed directly to the people. Lincoln publicly kept distant from the draft and worked behind the scenes.

Book excerpt: The story of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln is the story of the United States, and without either of their lives and influence we would not be the nation we are today. They were born within 9 months and 100 miles of each other in Kentucky log cabins. Their parallel lives from that point forward were eerily similar in spite of Davis remaining a life-long Southerner and Lincoln moving to and settling in Illinois. Each man had cold, emotionally distant fathers, both lost their first loves to disease within one month of each other, married strong Southern women much younger than themselves, and lost young sons while Presidents of the Union and the Confederacy. Both men were ambitious and drawn to the world of politics where Davis, an ardent slaveholder and state rights leader and Lincoln, seeking to limit and eradicate slavery, worked tirelessly to avoid Civil War up to the moment of Southern secession. Finally, Lincoln and Davis were each considered martyrs after leading their nations through the conclusion of the Civil War. This is their compelling story, including comparing the stark political events of their era to those being replayed across today's America.

Book excerpt: From 1861 to 1865, there were two American presidents, one in the North & one in the South. Abraham Lincoln & Jefferson Davis led their nations through a bitter civil war that changed the course of American history. Both were brilliant, patriots, & convinced they were right. One of several reasons why the North won & the South lost can be found in the drastically different characters of the two presidents. The electric & flexible personality of Lincoln enabled him to build coalitions among warring political factions & become one of the strongest & most successful presidents in history. The inability of the uncompromising Davis to do the same contributed to the South's losing the war. Illustrations.
