This is a post-Civil War photograph of DuBose in civilian clothes. This is a nice 4.25” x 6.5” cabinet card photograph. The image is a studio view of the man facing right.

The plain mount features some light edge and corner wear. The backmark is “Imperial Carte de Visite by BRADY. NATIONAL PORTRIAT GALLERIES,” with New York and Washington addresses. Additionally, there is an original pen & ink identification on top (Genl. D.M. DuBose) with more modern transcription below that. There is some soiling on the card, but overall a fine view of the man. From the William Turner collection.

Dudley McIver DuBose (October 28, 1834 – March 2, 1883) was an American lawyer, Confederate field officer and politician. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. Afterward, he later served one term in the United States House of Representatives from Georgia, 1871–1873.

DuBose volunteered to fight in the Confederate States Army, rising as an officer after being commissioned as a lieutenant in the 15th Georgia Infantry. The regiment fought in the Seven Days Battles, the Second Battle of Bull Run, and at Antietam. In January 1863 DuBose was promoted to colonel, and commanded the regiment. DuBose and his Georgians served in Benning’s Brigade, Hood's Division, Longstreet's Corps. At Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, they participated in Hood's attack on the Union III Corps, fighting at Devil's Den.  In September he led his regiment in another attack, at the Battle of Chickamauga, where he was wounded. The Confederate I Corps returned to Virginia, where he saw combat at the Wilderness, in May of 1864. On November 16th, he was promoted to Brigadier General and given command of a brigade in Major General Joseph B. Kershaw's division. He led his brigade in the Petersburg and Appomattox campaigns. On April 6, 1865, at Sayler's Creek, he, along with 19 other Confederate officers, was captured. Released from Fort Warren, Massachusetts, in July, he returned to Georgia.

His wife, Sallie Toombs, died in 1866, days after giving birth to a son and their newborn son died 20 days later. His mother assumed the care of his four children. He resumed his law career in Washington, Georgia. He later served one term as a United States Congressman from Georgia from March 4, 1871 to March 3, 1873. He returned to his law practice in Washington, Georgia, where he died after suffering a stroke. He is buried at Resthaven Cemetery in Washington, GA.   [jet][ph:L]
