Description: Wilfred Buck Yearns (1918-2006) was a trained historian and long time faculty member of the Wake Forest University history faculty. His The Confederate Congress (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1960) is a Civil War classic. From the internet: "Published in 1960, this study of the Confederate Congress and its relation to the Jefferson Davis administration describes the legislation, debates, personalities, and politics of this turbulent time. Initially, the Confederate Congress and President Davis were in agreement on how to win the war and lawmaking proceeded in a routine manner. However, as the war progressed conflicts arose as Congress and the President were faced with the difficulties of providing a poor nation the facilities of combat a richer one. Much of the later legislation was written only after bitter political controversy. An appendix gives brief biographical data on the Confederate congressmen, including their voting records on the Davis administration proposals." Hardcover; mylar protected dust jacket, 1st ed., 279 pp. Dust jacket toned with edge wear; light page toning; a very good copy of the scarce first edition. NOTE: Photo discoloration is owing to camera light and has nothing to do with page quality.
