Unwavering Duty

Provides the reader with the final days of the Confederate government as Jefferson Davis and his cabinet members are forced to retreat from Richmond. It then follows the Confederate President through the surrender of the armies of General Lee and Johnston, the federal pursuit culminating in his capture and incarceration at Fortress Monroe.

At this point, the book provides the what if of history when the federal government, instead of pardoning Davis under the auspices of the 14th Amendment, decides to place him on trial for treason against the United States.
