Excerpt from Hal's Travels in Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land: A Twelve Months Tour During Which He Saw Many Wonderful Things and a Vast Deal of Fun Now, my friends, if you feel inclined to travel, I would be pleased to have you quit your pleasant homes for a season, and journey with me into foreign lands. I think you will find yourselves amply repaid for all the toils you may undergo, for we shall visit many lands and many peoples, and shall look upon sights both quaint and curious. We will take our staves, bind on our sandals, and provide ourselves with scrip, for our wanderings will be long, and mayhap wearisome. I promise you, however, fair entertainment and genial companions by the way, for we shall refresh ourselves on "praties" with our Irish friends, herrings with the cannie Scotch, roast-beef with bluff, honest John Bull, and rabbits with the hardy Welch; with the polite Frenchman we will partake of wine and frogs, sour-krout with the pursy Dutchman, pipes and lager-beer with the German, goat's-milk and cheese with the Swiss - and then cross the proud Alps, and eat maccaroni with the Italian.

Volume 13 of The Papers of Jefferson Davis follows the former president of the Confederacy as he becomes head of the Carolina Life Insurance Company of Memphis and attempts to gain a financial foothold for his newly reunited family. Having lost everything in the Civil War and spent two years immediately afterwards in federal prison, Davis faced a mounting array of financial woes, health problems, and family illnesses and tragedies in the 1870s. Despite setbacks during this decade, Davis also began a quest to rehabilitate his image and protect his historical legacy. Although his position with the insurance company provided temporary financial stability, Davis resigned after the Panic of 1873 forced the sale of the company and its new owners canceled payments to Carolina policyholders. He left for England the following year in search of employment and to recuperate from ongoing illnesses. In 1876, Davis became president of the London-based Mississippi Valley Society and relocated to New Orleans to run the company. Throughout the 1870s, Davis waged an expensive and seemingly endless legal battle to regain his prewar Mississippi plantation, Brierfield. He also began working on his memoirs at Beauvoir, the Gulf Coast estate of a family friend. Though disfranchised, Davis addressed the subject of politics with more frequency during this decade, criticizing the Reconstruction policies of the federal government while defending the South and the former Confederacy. The volume ends with Davis's inheritance of Beauvoir, which was his last home. The editors have drawn from over one hundred manuscript repositories and private collections in addition to numerous published sources in compiling Volume 13.
