Book Review: First Lady of the Confederacy: Varina Davis's Civil War



Written by Joan E. Cashin


Varina Davis was the First Lady of the Confederacy and Joan did a very good job of telling her story.  Married to the President of the Confederacy, which I didn't know, Varina led a life in the public eye for most of her years.  A lady who tried to follow the demands her husband made of her and conform to the way life was lead in the 1800's bur wasn't always successful.  Varina had a strong will that was easily expressed by her easy way of talking and making almost everyone feel at easy. 

Joan was able to bring Varina Davis back to life with this book, which would have made Varina proud.
