    DescriptionA cabinet card photograph mounted on black mat-board depicting Governor Jeff Davis in a horse drawn buggy with three men. The photo is torn in three pieces. The photo is by McLeod of Happy Hallow. Written on the back of one of the pieces is, "Gov. Jeff Davis in Hot Springs, Ark. with Mayor George Belding of Hot Springs, directly back of him."

    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.
