    DescriptionA cabinet card photograph mounted on white mat board of Governor Jeff Davis hunting. The photo is one of four, taken by the Bradshaw Bros. of Russellville, Arkansas. Davis is in a field holding a rifle and is surrounded by hunting dogs.

    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.
