Davidson Scrapbooks","Virginia","Scrapbooks","Clippings (Books, newspapers, etc.)","Correspondence","Poetry","Essays","James D. Davidson, son of Presbyterian minister Andrew B. Davidson, was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia in 1810. He graduated from Washington College (predecessor to Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Va. in 1828. After a stint as a teacher, Davidson began reading law and was admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1831. He became a highly reputed country lawyer practicing for roughly forty years in Rockbridge. Davidson's  penchant for poetry and prose led to regular submissions of both local and regional newspapers. He explored may themes in his writings, and, being an influential citizen, his opinion pieces on such subjects as politics, family, and religion, flourished with satire, humor, and wit were popular. Davidson married Hannah McDowell Greenlee and together had seven children. Davidson was a Whig turned Democrat, owned slaves and opined against dissolution of the Union initially in 1861. His opinion shifted in favor of secession at the very end of Virginia's secession debate, at which point he devoted his time and attention to the war effort in which all five of his sons would serve - two of whom survived. After the Civil War, Davidson continued his law practice, wrote profusely, farmed, and influenced local and regional politics. Davidson was also a longtime trustee of Washington College. He died in 1882, survived by his two daughters Mary and Clara (Estill) and his wife Hannah.","This collection contains newspaper clippings of Dorman's poems, letters, and essays on various subjects published in the Lexington Gazette and other papers.","Folder one includes two small scrapbooks of clippings and bpoth are inscribed by Davidson. The first is a pocket sized scrapbook of clippings titled, \"The poetical and prose compositions of James D. Davidson written for and published in the Lexington Intelligencer (newspaper).\" The second is titled, \"Essays of Tristram by James D. Davidson published in the Lexington Union (newspaper)edited by Charles P. Dorman in 1832.\" \"Tristram\" was one of Davidson's many pseudonyms.","Three numbered scrapbooks of published writings and anecdotes of James D. Davidson as well as misc. additional clippings with Davidson's annotations and commentary. Volume one includes tipped in printed handbills of Davidson's poems.
