Gr. 3-5. The story of Jefferson Davis is in sharp contrast to that of Frederick Douglass. Douglas snatched education wherever he could find it--under the tutelage of a slave owner's wife or outdoors where he practiced writing with chalk or a stick; Davis, who also had an aptitude for learning, found his information in private academies and, eventually, West Point. These two brief biographies highlight the lives of both leaders, though Frazier's Jefferson Davis could do with a bit more discussion of Southern slavery. Readers would scarcely realize its harshness as they read about Davis' rise to leadership of the Confederacy. Both books feature artwork contemporary to the times, which are identified only by their source. Useful introductions. Denise Wilms
