4.0 out of 5 stars Old-school biography of Jefferson, Calhoun and Davis, May 8, 2007
This review is from: Statesmen of the Old South (Paperback)
Terribly out of date, but engaging nonetheless, this little book runs a quick biography of the three greatest Southern statesmen before the Civil War. Not too useful for keen insights into character, the book (originally published in 1912) is a sincere attempt at objectivity for its time. And since the author was closer in time to the lives of the characters involved (particularly Davis), his writing reflects a respect and intimacy with these men rarely seen in modern scholarly literature. Read for fun, not for research.
