Place Brierfield was the plantation home of Jefferson Davis located on Davis Bend in Warren County, Mississippi.1 The eldest brother of Jefferson Davis, Joseph E. Davis, acquired approximately 6,900 acres in the choice western and southern portions of the 11,000-acre peninsula, including the river frontage, in 1818. The river-encircled area of fine cotton land became known to locals as “Davis Bend.” The elder Davis sold part of the land to friends such as General John A. Quitman, but reserved to himself 5,280 acres on which to raise cotton. Joseph Davis supposedly “gifted” to his brother approximately 2,320 acres in 1835, probably to settle an indebtedness related to Jefferson’s interest in their father’s estate. But Joseph never gave Jefferson a deed, which later caused legal problems. Much of the property, which had about two and one-half miles of river frontage, was covered in woods and brambles that required clearing in order to allow eventual cultivation. Jefferson and his new wife, Varina Howell Davis, laughingly referred to it as the “Brierfield,” when they first saw it and the name stuck. Enslaved people cleared the property, constructed a home and other buildings, and cultivated cotton over the coming years. On June 24, 1862, Union soldiers advancing toward Vicksburg made a night landing on Davis Bend, and General Peter J. Osterhaus ordered the burning of Joseph Davis’s Hurricane plantation home, destroying the mansion and its contents. Although the Union forces visited Brierfield, they did not set fire to it. The plantation had become disorganized due to flooding and the war. Prior to the raid, Jefferson Davis’s parlor furniture, books, and family correspondence had been taken to Joseph Davis’s inland farms for safekeeping. During General Ulysses S. Grant’s initial thrust for Vicksburg from Memphis early in 1863, Rear Admiral David G. Farragut 1 Frank Edgar Everett, Jr., Brierfield: Plantation Home of Jefferson Davis(Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi, 1971), 7, 8, 18, 19, 23-27, 75-78, 91, 118, 119.

On Farragut’s approach, the fleet made a landing at David Bend in May, and “. sailors from the fleet were allowed on shore and despoiled the plantations of most of their beauty. Everything of value was either carried away or destroyed, and the plantation presented the appearance of having suffered a deluge and tornado at the same time . The place will be securely garrisoned by negro troops. Guerillas will not find it to their interest to pay a visit, especially as it is the design to establish there a station for a gunboat to cover our troops in case of an emergency . .”2 2 Thomas W. Knox, “What Has Become of Jeff. Davis’ Plantation,”New York Herald (New York, NY), 2, col 2-3, December 28, 1863. THE HOUSE JEFF BUILT 105 A Vicksburg newspaper reported on July 1, 1863, that Yankees had rifled Brierfield, destroyed all farming implements, as well as household and kitchen furniture, and had defaced the premises. After the fall of Vicksburg on July 4, the Union Army took control of Brierfield and Hurricane for use by the Freedmen’s Bureau. George Holmes Bixby, M.D.: Photographer on the Western Rivers Along with several staff members from the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Museum in Missouri, the authors recently confirmed that Dr. George Holmes Bixby (great-great uncle of Brooks C. Place), who served as the chief medical officer aboard the USS Red Rover, was an amateur photographer of significant skill who took many photographs of gunboats and other vessels of the Mississippi River Squadron while aboard the Navy’s “first hospital ship” from June 1862 until the end of his service in the fall of 1865.3 Bixby was one of a small group of physicians who were also amateur photographers of the Civil War, the

  • Mississippi-State of the Union

    Mississippi-State of the Union

    MISSISSIPPI-STATE OF THE UNION DURING THE PAST several years in which the struggle for human rights rights in our country has reached a crescendo level, the state of ~ississippi has periodically been a focal point of national interest. The murder of young Emmett Till, the lynching of Charles Mack Parker in the "moderate" Gulf section of Mississippi, the "freedom rides" to Jackson, the events at Oxford, Mississippi, and the triple lynching of the martyred Civil Rights workers, Chaney, Schwerner and Goodman, have, figuratively, imprinted Mississippi on the national conscience. In response to the national concern arising from such events, most writings about Mississippi have been in the nature of reporting, with emotional appeal and shock-value being the chief characteristics of such writing. FREEDOMWAYS is publishing this special issue on Mississippi to fill a need both for the Freedom Movement and the country. The need is for an in-depth analysis of Mississippi; of the political, economic and cultural factors which have historically served to institutionalize racism in this state. The purpose of such an analysis is perhaps best expressed in the theme that we have chosen: "Opening Up the Closed Society"; the purpose being to provide new insights rather than merely repeating well-known facts about Mississippi. The shock and embarrassment which events in Mississippi have sometimes caused the nation has also led to the popular notion that Mississippi is some kind of oddity, a freak in the American scheme-of-things. How many Civil Rights demonstrations have seen signs proclaiming-"bring Mississippi back into the Union." This is a well-intentioned but misleading slogan.

    Antislavery Violence and Secession, October 1859

    ANTISLAVERY VIOLENCE AND SECESSION, OCTOBER 1859 – APRIL 1861 by DAVID JONATHAN WHITE GEORGE C. RABLE, COMMITTEE CHAIR LAWRENCE F. KOHL KARI FREDERICKSON HAROLD SELESKY DIANNE BRAGG A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright David Jonathan White 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the collapse of southern Unionism between October 1859 and April 1861. This study argues that a series of events of violent antislavery and southern perceptions of northern support for them caused white southerners to rethink the value of the Union and their place in it. John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and northern expressions of personal support for Brown brought the Union into question in white southern eyes. White southerners were shocked when Republican governors in northern states acted to protect members of John Brown’s organization from prosecution in Virginia. Southern states invested large sums of money in their militia forces, and explored laws to control potentially dangerous populations such as northern travelling salesmen, whites “tampering” with slaves, and free African-Americans. Many Republicans endorsed a book by Hinton Rowan Helper which southerners believed encouraged antislavery violence and a Senate committee investigated whether an antislavery conspiracy had existed before Harpers Ferry. In the summer of 1860, a series of unexplained fires in Texas exacerbated white southern fear. As the presidential election approached in 1860, white southerners hoped for northern voters to repudiate the Republicans. When northern voters did not, white southerners generally rejected the Union.

HASSEL April 2014 Copyright Leslie M. Hassel 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The following thesis examines media coverage of a 1970 campus shooting at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi, during which two black students were killed and several others were injured. Over forty years after the shootings, the incident remains largely absent from the dominant historical narrative. This study posits that the contradictory accounts published by various Jackson-area news outlets blurred the lines between facts and subjective perspectives and as a consequence limited the resources used by historians to construct a narrative of the shootings.
