......information on Davis from The Prison Life of Jefferson Davis .
Inflamed by sectional prejudices, the leaders of the victorious North blamed Jefferson Davis for the horrors of Andersonville Prison, the murder of Abraham Lincoln, and the bloodshed brought upon the land by what they referred to as “the Great Rebellion.” Consequently, upon his capture in May of 1865, Davis was sent to Fortress Monroe where he endured two years of solitary confinement, suffering the brutal treatment of his country’s conquerors as he awaited a trial which would never come. The author of this book, though a Northern man of obvious Northern sympathies, was personal physician to Davis for seven months of his imprisonment, and describes as few others could, the proud Southerner and noble Christian gentleman that was the first President of the Confederate States of America.
