    DescriptionAnti-Governor Jeff Davis handbill called "The Gov'nor with His Pardon. Song and Dance. Words By Pomp Brown, Air: The Captain with His Whiskers." It is a poem about the pardon of Pomp Brown by Governor Jeff Davis.

    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.
