520 _a"Beauvoir: Jefferson Davis Shrine", an anonymous publication, is a historical account likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The book explores the life and legacy of Beauvoir, the last home of Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States of America. It details the house's construction, its significance as a residence for Davis from 1877 until his death in 1889, and its subsequent transformation into a shrine dedicated to his memory. The narrative provides a thorough examination of Beauvoir's history, starting with its origins under the ownership of James Brown and its later acquisition by Davis. It elucidates Davis's efforts to write a comprehensive history of the Confederate government during his time at Beauvoir, supported by his wife, Varina. The text also highlights the family's personal connections to the site, including the impact of Davis's daughter Winnie. Furthermore, it outlines how the property was preserved and repurposed into a Confederate veterans' home and ultimately became a shrine, maintained by various organizations to honor Davis's contributions and significance in American history, including the unique artifacts that represent the lives of the Davis family.
