Davis, Reuben.
Recollections of Mississippi and Mississippians. 1889....920 D322
"The work of a Mississippi 'fire-eater,' who was prominent in state
politics for many years before the Civil War and member of Congress
from 1857 to 1861; primarily of value for the social and political
history of Mississippi, secondarily for national history, especially during
Davis's congressional career; evidently written from memory, however,
and hence not always trustworthy. The author has little method,
but a dispassionate temper, sound judgment and entertaining style."
