    Description"A Scrapbook compiled by extracts from the Dardanelle Post-Dispatch During the Anti-Trust Suits and Gubernatorial Canvass of 1899-1900 presented to Gov.-Elect, Jeff Davis by his friend John H. Page."

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
