    DescriptionBlack and white cabinet card photograph of Jeff Davis in a suit, vest, and bow tie posed with left foot forward staring at the camera. Printed at the bottom part of the mat is the FF: "H.D. Shinn 120 1/2 Main St. Little Rock, Ark." and written on the back in ink: "Hon. Jeff Davis Atty Gen of Ark."

    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.
