re: I want to learn about the Civil War

For what it's worth, the Wilkinson County museum/library has a collection of Davis family books/journals/letters if you want to get a look into the President of the Confederacy personal and home life.

I'm currently up at our family land digging around the library. Wish my great grandma wouldn't have given leased them to the museum. All I'm stuck with is 1800s magazines, almanacs, and other not so interesting books.
