A Short History of the Confederate Government

Essentially, this book is an abbreviated version of Jefferson Davis' magnus opus, "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government." Annotations have been added for helpful information on words or subjects that may be unfamiliar to the modern reader, however, this does in no way interrupt the flow of the original text, which is given in its entirity. A "must-read" for the serious student of Civil War history, and also for the student of constitutional government, this book will be a valuable reference to be used again and again.
