He was a diplomat, historian, journalist, judge, lawyer, legislator, lobbyist, novelist, playwright, poet, and politician-and a well-known humorist, once called on to replace Mark Twain when Twain's humor failed him.
During his short and stormy life, John Moncure Daniel served as US diplomat, journalist, Confederate officer and conscience of the Confederacy. This biography includes a series of private letters between Daniel and his great uncle Peter Vivian Daniel, US Secretary of War John Floyd, and others.
