Summary: Another comic version of Confederate President Jefferson Davis's ignominious capture by Union troops in May 1865. (See also 'The Chas-ed 'Old Lady' of the C.S.A.,' no. 1865-11.) Here Davis, clad as a woman and holding a wooden pail, is discovered by a lone trooper, Benjamin Dudley Pritchard of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry. The soldier lifts the skirts of the fugitive to reveal a pair of black boots. Davis's wife (at right) protests, saying, 'Only my mother.'
