Capture of Davis and the Davis clothing tale
Abbeville Press and Banner recounts Jefferson Davis capture and the disputed account from his book The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. The narrative describes Davis waking in a tent, donning a wife’s shawl and raglan, near dawn, while Union troopers close in. Davis refuses to surrender, claiming he would rather be hanged in Crawfordsville than live in Paris, with mixed reactions to Mr Stephens and Davis among contemporaries.
