New Podcast Posting: Jefferson Davis - The Man at 200

June 3, 2008 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis.

Davis was best known as President of the Confederacy during the U.S. Civil War. But there was more to him than that. And just who was Jefferson Davis anyway ?

To gain some insight into these and other questions, in this Conversation on the Road we speak with Dean Knight, Supervisor of the White House at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia. The Museum is staging a series of events during this year to mark the Davis birthday year.
