    DescriptionAn anti-Jeff Davis handbill called "The Gov'nor With His Pardon" by "Pomp Brown" to air "The Captain with His Whiskers." The leaflet contains a poem about Davis's excessive pardons, especially that of Pomp Brown.

    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.
