Finally a work that has been in progress since early 2017 is completed and in print. "An Ornament to His Country" is a 346 page biography of the life and military career of Benjamin Franklin Davis. Davis has been mentioned often in this blog throughout the years but not in the detail that is available in this book. The book is augmented by photographs and a series of maps drawn by an exceptional cartographer, Aaron Holly. It is an honor to tell this gallant officers life story.
