Scholars

By PAUL (.‘ICAYCRAFT, JR.
Kernel Staff Writer

UK Professor Emeritus Clement Eaton has
written a book entitled Jefferson Davi ' ‘
which many Scholars are calling the
biography of the Kentucky-hem President 0
the Confederacy.

Bruce Cation. a Civil War historian who h
received the Pulitzer Prize and National Bo
Award for his works, called Eaton’s book “a:
first-rate study of one of the strangest ant:
most enigmatic men in American history.‘

Eaton said he wrote the book because he fel'
a new Davis biography was necessary '
“There was not a good biography on Jefferso
Davis after all these years We needed .
modern good biography.

“There is such a contrast between Davis
life and surroundings to modern times. He hat
a remarkable sense of honor which seems to
be missing now. Also he has been portrayed:
as a cast-iron man and i tried to humanize
him. For instance. I have one chapter on his
relations with women."

Davis has often been criticized for his stanci
on slavery, but Eaton describes him as a
“paternal slave master. He had a jury system
set up to punish his slaves. Often he thought
the other slaves gave too strict a sentence and

he reduced it."

Jefferson Davis was not born wealthy like
many historical figures comparable to him.
Eaton called him a “self—made aristocrat“
and gave his surroundings as one of the
reasons for his success.

“Lexington was a very favorable en-
vironment for him to develop fine qualities,
such as honor ~-— which he particularly
displayed. During this time most boys wanted
to be politicians because it showed great
prestige. Davis wanted to be a lawyer and a
politician. He didn‘t want to go to West Point,
but his father forced him."

Eaton speculated that if Davis had not been
forced to go to military school, he would not
have become the President of the Con—
federacy.

Before Jefferson Davis was published by
the MacMillan Free Press, it was named the
winter selection of the History Book Club and
5.500 copies were ordered by the club. The
book club president said it is one of the best
selling volumes the club has ever offered.

In the cover notes for the book, Pulitzer
Prize winner David H. Donald, professor of
Southern History at Harvard University, said,
“Professor Eaton has written what is
unquestionably the best modern biography of
the President of the Confederacy. His book is
sure in scholarship, felicitous in style, and

explained. Because the

that there is little reasoning

Eaton began teaching at UK in 1946 and left
the campus in 1968. He retired a year later
after serving as Pitt Professor of American
History and Institutions at Cambridge
University. a position he regards as one of the
high points of his life.

Eaton is :I graduate of the University of
North Carolina where he received his MA.
degree in English. He decided to become a
historian while at Harvard University where
he received his PhD. III 1949. During his
career, he was a Fulbright Professor at the
Austria‘s University of Innsbruck, Man-
Chester University in England. and in Rome
and Bologna. Italy.

Since he retired. Eaton spencb much of his
time taking care of the 130 rose bushes in his
yard. He also said he loves to travel “because
it makes you a more interesting person.“

Prior to thc publication of Jefferson Davis,
Eziton's credits listed eight books. He said his
latest work will be available in a paperback
edition by spring, which he thinks some
university history classes will later use. His
current project is a book about the new South.

That volume won‘t be available for a few
years. Eaton said. “It takes me from three to
five years to write a good book. I just hope I
can keep up my health and ambition."
