Jim Limber Davis: A Black Orphan in the Confederate White House
(An Accelerated Reader Selection)
When Union soldiers invaded Richmond, Virginia, and captured Jefferson Davis, they also kidnapped Jim Limber. Soon after his capture, cruel rumors spread that Jim was Jefferson Davis' slave. After the Civil War, Davis tried to locate Jim, but he was never found.
This true story shows how Jim Limber was accepted as one of the Davis's own children and reveals their love for him. Although Jim's whereabouts after the war still remain a mystery, the story offers an example of compassion during this complex time in our nation's history.
