Archived for nearly a century, the chronicle of this previously unknown and daring plot has been brought to light by historians Jeffrey H. Smith, Vifquain's great-great grandson, and Phillip Thomas Tucker in a meticulously edited and annotated volume. The plot to ride into Richmond and capture Jefferson Davis was concocted by three brash adventurers, who, using pseudonyms from \u003ci\u003eThe Three Musketeers\u003c\/i\u003e, were soon involved in escapades worthy of Dumas's trio. This stunning story provides a fresh perspective on Richmond during the Civil War and a personal account of a scheme devised to bring an early end to the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45117033021591,"sku":"9780803296305","price":1746.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780803296305.webp?v=1767272375","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-1862-plot-to-kidnap-jefferson-davis-9780803296305","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
