The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1881) is a book written by Jefferson Davis, who served as President of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Davis wrote the book as a straightforward history of the Confederate States of America and as an apologia for the causes that he believed led to and justified the American Civil War. He wrote most of the book at Beauvoir, the Biloxi, Mississippi plantation where he was living as a guest of the novelist and wealthy widow Sarah Ellis Dorsey. Ill with cancer, in 1878 she made over her will and left the plantation to him before her death in 1879. She had already assisted him in his writing, notably with organization, editing and encouragement. Davis was also assisted by his wife, Varina, and his secretary Major W.T. Walthall. He corresponded voluminously with surviving Confederate statesmen and generals, including Judah Benjamin and Jubal Early, for fact checking and details on key issues. The book was released in 1881 by the New York publisher D. Appleton & Co. in a two- volume edition totaling more than 1,500 pages and with many engraved illustrations.

• Notes of a Private by John M. Hubbard

A remarkable history of the Civil War of 1861-1865 written by a private soldier from Bolivar, Tennessee. His personal recollections of this five-year experience were published 44 years after the war in 1909. It reflects a view and understanding of the war that is not often expressed or presented in traditional history books. He rode with General Nathan Bedford Forrest!
