The Real
Jefferson Davis

By
LANDON KNIGHT

“Where once raged the storm of battle nowbloom the gentle flowers of peace, andthere where the mockingbird sings hernight song to the southern moon, sweetlysleeps the illustrious chieftain whom a nationmourns. Wise in council, valiant inwar, he was still greater in peace, and tohis noble, unselfish example more than toany other one cause do we owe the indellibleinscription over the arch of our union,‘Esto perpetua.’”
