    DescriptionBlack and white carte-de-visite photograph of Jeff Davis on horseback wearing a cap and holding a shotgun pointed to the left with four hunting dogs. The photograph was taken by Bradshaw Brothers of Russellville, Arkansas.

    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.
