1865 JEFFERSON DAVIS | CIVIL WAR. Scarce Broadside & Satyrical Song on Capture and Hanging of Confederate President Bible September 24A wonderful and rather scarce Civil War broadside; we are, in fact, not able to trace another example. Issued on the capture of former Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, it predicts a forthcoming hanging, perhaps even complete with his being dangled in the women's clothing he was reported to be disguised in when captured. The lyrics themselves are by one of the wittiest of the Civil War songers, Byron DeWolfe. [1835 1873]. Printed onwove paper
