Varina Davis, Jefferson Davis: Ex-President of the Confederate States of America, A Memoir by his Wife, Volume 1, Chapter 10: Fort Crawford, 1832-33. (search)
tenant Davis served for a short time at Jefferson Barracks, and also at Prairie du Chien, with his friend Albert Sidney Johnston, where he became much attached to Mrs. Johnston, and rejoiced with them over the birth of their little boy, William Preston Johnston, who afterward served on Mr. Davis's staff while he was President of the Confederacy, and occupied the chair of history in the Washington-Lee University while General Lee was President; afterward, he was President of the college at Baton Rouge, and is now President of the Tulane University of New Orleans. Everywhere his course has been marked by all the qualities that the friends of his illustrious father could have desired or expected to see developed in him. Descended from one of the greatest and purest men of his day, he was named after his uncle, William Preston, and if there is virtue in a name none could confer more honor or a better earnest of a noble life than that of General William Preston, of Kentucky.
