Jefferson Davis, Constitutionalist: His Letters, Papers, and Speeches, Količina 9Mississippi Department of Archives and History, 1923 The true story of the Southern Confederacy lies in the letters, speeches, and State papers of its leaders; and its best justification will come after such historical materials have been made accessible to the truth-loving historian of the future.
