President in Petticoats: Civil War Propaganda in Photographs
Fri, May 18, 2012 – Sun, Sept 2, 2012 At dawn on May 10, 1865, a contingent of Michigan cavalry captured Davis in a makeshift camp outside Irwinville, Georgia. In his haste to flee, Davis grabbed his wife's overcoat rather than his own. News reports immediately circulated that Davis had been apprehended in women's clothes and that he was attempting to disguise himself as a woman. Caricaturists seized upon these rumors of cowardly escape and created wildly inventive images.
