    DescriptionA black and white cabinet card photograph of Governor Jeff Davis, mounted on a light brown colored mat-board. The photo was taken by H.A. Shinn at 120 Main St. in Little Rock, Arkansas. The back of the photograph has been scribbled on.

    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.
