Union troops ransack the plantation of Jefferson Davis on the Mississippi River below Vicksburg

Brierfield Plantation on the Mississippi River, twenty-five miles south of Vicksburg, was the home of Confederate president Jefferson Davis from 1838.  Union troops ransacked the house, carried off most of the implements and furnishings, and took with them all of the slaves living there.  Davis did not regain personal possession of the property till 1881 and never lived there again.  It is now a private hunting reserve.  (By John Osborne)
