    DescriptionA black and white photograph of Jeff Davis campaigning at Centre Point, Arkansas on Feb 12, 1900. Davis is speaking to group of people (mostly men) with town buildings in the background. The photograph is mounted on a green decorative matte board.

    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.
