1859 · Jackson [MS]
by Hooker, Charles E.
Jackson [MS], 1859. 24pp. Disbound, loosened, lightly to moderately foxed. Upper forecorners rounded, sometimes close to but not affecting text. Laid is a Natchez news obituary of Quitman's death, abrading a few letters of text. About Good+.
Quitman was a Mississippi Southern Rights, pro-Slavery spokesman who had been the State's Governor and U.S. Senator, and a Mexican War Brigadier General. His passing was mourned by all good Slavery men. This rare pamphlet eulogizes him as a man who "had become to the ears and hearts of Mississippians the synonme [sic] for honesty and honor," "treasured in the hearts and affections of our entire people."
