General Joseph Reid Anderson
General Joseph Reid Anderson, whose Tredegar Iron Company was at the industrial heart of the Confederate States of America.
Anderson resigned his army commission on July 19, 1862, so this photo was almost certainly taken before then, unless he donned it again just for the portrait.
