Have you actually ever read Varina Davis' book? I have. Have you ever read any other biography of either Davis? Cooper's book on Davis? Or Cashin's book on Varina? Of course not, that would be too much work. I've actually read them all, as well as Chesnut's diary and a lot of Jefferson Davis' history of the confederacy (A more boring book was never written IMHO). In some of them - Cooper's and Davis' books - Limber is never mentioned. In the rest Limber is mentioned in passing, something between an "awww, ain't that cute" and a "what on earth were they thinking" kind of thing. But all accounts agree on one thing - there was no adoption. Varina Davis never refers to him as an adopted son, or any kind of relation. Limber was apparently allowed to stay as a plaything for the younger Davis children. He was not particularly valued, any more than any other family servant was valued. I've never seen any confirmation that he left Richmond with the Davis' or that either Davis took any particular pains to find out what happened to him. Your 'adopted child' claims are a figment of your simple Southron imagination, and yet another instance of a Lost Cause myth without basis in fact.
His post #183 is so full of crap that it's, well, like all his other posts!
I've actually read them all,
A common claim that NS/DSK makes about every book that's ever been written.
there was no adoption.
Perhaps because there was no adoption law in Virginia at that time and any adoption would have been an extralegal one? Oops! You left that part out, didn't you DSK. Just one more example of the millions of DSK's lies, myths and revisionism.
I've never seen any confirmation that he left Richmond with the Davis' or that either Davis took any particular pains to find out what happened to him.
Limber was with the Davis' at the time of their capture and was taken from them by the damn yankees.
And since President Davis spent the next two years in a yankee prison and was the most hated man in the north, it would seem that any reasonable person of intellect would quickly deduce that Davis' resources were probably extremely limited thereby making the location of one Jim Limber somewhat difficult, if not impossible. Of course, we can't expect NS/DSK to embrace reason, now can we.
Your 'adopted child' claims
See above. BTW, I've decided to 'adopt' you as my favorite yankee to hate but since there's no laws in SC allowing the adoption of massive piles of buzzard dung I guess I'll have to adopt you extra-legally.
myth without basis in fact.
You, dung pile, are the notorious one for being factually challenged. It's your forte, your MO, your genetic being!
We all KNOW IT, we all LAUGH AT YOU and we all LOVE to HATE YOU FOR IT!
I actually have read both of Varina’s books and a whole bunch of other other CW books. I have a long list. But that means nothing to you because the only thing that does matter to you is your own opinion, which is really sad. I pity you. And I laugh at you. *snicker snicker*
Btw, did you even go to the link I gave you in that other post? It doesn’t sound like you did because you are still spouting lunacy....you’re kind of like old faithful. We can always rely on you to spout frequent bs. :) That’s one thing good about you though. You’re reliable. Same ol’ same ‘ol..... lol
