This 6th plate ambrotype of General Danville Leadbetter, who was born in Maine, but fought for the Confederacy for his adopted state of Alabama during the Civil War most likely dates from the late 1850\'s or early 1860\'s, just before the start of the Civil War. The image shows him seated in civilian clothes with a gilded brass mat and frame and comes in a pasteboard photo case. The image is quite sharp and the case in in good shape for the age, with only some minor cracking. The spine of the case has been reinforced.
Danville Leadbetter was born in Maine in 1811 and was a career US Army officer who later served as a Confederate General during the Civil War. He initially joined the 1st Artillery, but was transferred to the Engineers, rising to the rank of General. He was involved in several battles, including the Battle of Chattanooga and the Battle of Fort Saunders. After the war he fled to Mexico and eventually moved to Canada where he died in 1866. His body was returned to Alabama where he was buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Mobile, Alabama. There is much more information about him available online
