Walker, Robert J.:

JEFFERSON DAVIS. REPUDIATION, RECOGNITION AND SLAVERY. LETTER OF HON. ROBERT J. WALKER, M.A. COUNSELLOR AT LAW IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. . . GOVERNOR OF KANSAS, ETC. ETC. SECOND EDITION.

London: Ridgway, 1863. 58pp, disbound, else Very Good.

Walker, the staunchly pro-Union Senator from Mississippi during the 1830's who had also been an advocate of Texan annexation and later became governor of the Kansas Territory, spent much of the War in Europe raising money for the Union cause. Here he shows that Jefferson Davis and his government are "engaged in selling worthless Confederate bonds in this market." DAB says this and his other pamphlets showed, "not very candidly, how slavery, Jefferson Davis, and the repudiation of debts were almost synonymous terms."
