Description

Varina Anne “Winnie” Davis was born into a war-torn South in June of 1864; the youngest daughter of Confederate president Jefferson Davis and his second wife; Varina Howell Davis. Born only a month after the death of beloved Confederate hero general J.E.B. Stuart during a string of Confederate victories; Winnie’s birth was hailed as a blessing by war-weary Southerners. They felt her arrival was a good omen signifying future victory. But after the Confederacy’s ultimate defeat in the Civil War; Winnie would spend her early life as a genteel refugee and an expatriate abroad.
