    DescriptionA pamphlet entitled, "A Song" words by Frank Doolittle to the tune of "Rambler." This song criticizes Jeff Davis for his drinking, the high prices of coal and furniture, his disrespect for the law, inability to break up trusts, and his treatment of African-Americans. Black text printed on yellowed paper totaling eight pages.

    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.
