• DEAN ELLIS (1920 - 2009) "JEFFERSON
  DEAN ELLIS (1920 - 2009) "JEFFERSON DAVIS"Dean Ellis (New York, 1920 - 2009) "Jefferson Davis" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for The Shapers of America series issued in 1987. A graduate of West Point, Jefferson Davis had fought in the Black Hawk War and served with distinction in the Mexican War. He served as Secretary of War under President Pierce and President Zachary Taylor. Kentucky born, he moved to Mississippi and there served as Congressman, Senator, and then returned to the Senate to be the leading spokesman for States Rights. When the seceding States met at Montgomery, Alabama to establish the Confederate States of America, they chose Davis as President of the new nation. As a wartime president, he was respected, and proved to be as able, decisive, wise in his choice of generals and of diplomats as could be expected. But, under the Confederate Constitution, he was unable to impose national law or use the judiciary system in the absence of a Supreme Court. Inevitably all of his -- and the South's -- expectations were disappointed: Britain did not intervene, the North rallied around Lincoln; internal lines of communication did not allow the vastly outnumbered Confederates to shift their forces easily and, most importantly, Lincoln finally found generals -- Grant and Sherman -- who could hold their own with Lee and his lieutenants. After Appomattox, Davis sought to flee, but was captured and briefly imprisoned for treason. But he was never brought to trial. He spent his last years writing a history of the Confederate States of America. Image Size: 18 x 21 in. Overall Size: 24 x 27 in. Unframed.

The Virginian who saved this ballot was obviously not pleased with him. Condition: Ballot in very good condition.? Stephens' CDV moderately stained.?

• JEFFERSON DAVIS LETTER TO J.B.
  JEFFERSON DAVIS LETTER TO J.B. LINDSLEY, REF. MCGAVOCKJefferson Davis letter to Nashville author, doctor, minister and educator Dr. John Berrien Lindsley with good retrospective content regarding the American Civil War and mention of Nashville war hero Col. Randal McGavock. In this 1 1/2 page letter and enclosed small note dated March 11, 1887 from Davis's home, Beauvoir, the former president of the Confederate States of America writes, "My dear sir, I duly received and acknowledged the beautiful and valuable volume of which you are the author. The work is to me rendered doubly dear as another one of the offerings made by woman to the cause of the south, for such it became when the southern states alone contended for the freedom and independence which the constitution was formed alone to secure and preserve. Please give my cordial thanks to Mrs. Lindsley, the sister of a hero in the war between the states, and daughter of a comrade in arms of the immortal Jackson. I trust the example you have set will be followed by other states for the commemoration of patriots who dared all for States Rights and self government, the priceless heritage which descended to us from our fathers of the Revolution. Respectfully and truly yours, Jefferson Davis." Also included is a small enclosed note marked "Private: It is a ___ solicism to term the resistance of states to coercion "a rebellion". Subjects, not sovereign, may "rebel" and the states won their sovereignty in the war of 1776. It is politically inaccurate to term ours a "civil war" which properly applies to a war between factions of one body politic, whereas ours was a war between the states united by a Federal league for enumerated purposes & therefore it was a war between states which being united by consent separated on the exercise of their reserved sovereignty. JSD." Note: the letter and note, which appear to have been penned and signed by Varina Davis, Jefferson's wife, were likely written upon receipt of Lindsley's book, The Military Annals of Tennessee, published 1886. John Berrien Lindsley's wife was Sarah McGavock, granddaughter of Randal McGavock, owner of Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee and mayor of Nashville from 1824-1825; she was the sister of Randal William McGavock, Nashville mayor (1858-1859) and CSA Colonel, killed in action while leading a counter attack at the Battle of Raymond in Mississippi in 1863. Provenance: formerly from the collection of Miss Margaret Lindsley Warden of Nashville, Tennessee.
