Brady, at his Washington studio, on Friday, January 8, 1864.   (1793-1881) Born near Boonesboro, Clark County, Kentucky. During his distinguished career, Coombs was a lawyer, soldier, trustee of Transylvania University, a state legislator, state auditor, president of the Kentucky Central Railroad, and close friend and confidant of President William Henry Harrison, and Statesman Henry Clay. He was also associated with Vice President of the United States, and Confederate General John C. Breckenridge, and the Crittenden family, and the Marshall family of Kentucky. His father was a Virginian, who served as an officer under General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. His father also helped drive the Indians out of Kentucky with his friend Daniel Boone. Known as the "Boy Captain" of the War of 1812, Leslie Coombs served as a captain of scouts and distinguished himself by his courage and gallantry. To quote Coombs from an interview he did which was published in The New York Times, "On the 5th of May, Colonel Dudley attacked the British under Proctor at the foot of the Rapids, 50 miles below Fort Defiance. We would have defeated him had not Tecumseh, with a large body of Indians, crossed the river and come to Proctor’s aid. I was wounded twice that day in the shoulder, and also taken prisoner with several of my men. We were put for safe keeping in a kind of fort or earthworks, behind which we had to squat down to prevent the red devils from shooting us. Pretty soon a big Indian came in the fort and tomahawked and scalped one of my men right before my eyes. We would all have been killed had not Tecumseh heard of the outrage, and he came in the fort and made a speech to the Indians. I knew a little of the Indian lingo, and remember his telling the Indians that it was cowardly to kill unarmed men in captivity. Oh Yes! Tecumseh was a great man." After the war, he settled in Lexington, Ky. where he practiced law. In 1836, he raised a regiment that was sent to the southwest frontier, at the time of the Texas revolution. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was President of the Kentucky Central Railroad. Known as a brilliant orator, Leslie Coombs was highly respected by all who knew him.

His decisive actions on July 1, 1863 helped to save the strategic Culp's Hill for General Meade's army. On July 3rd, his corps became the focal point for the celebrated Pickett's Charge in which he was seriously wounded. After his recovery, he went on to fight in the bloody battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, and earned the sobriquet "Hancock The Superb." In 1880, he was the Democratic nominee for the Presidency of the United States. He was narrowly defeated by another ex Civil War General, the soon to be assassinated, James A. Garfield.

He was promoted to brigadier general to rank from April 15, 1862, and commanded the defenses of Harper's Ferry in May and June. During the remainder of the Civil War he commanded at various points in the South; however his principal occupation was the enlistment and organization of negro troops, principally ex-slaves for service in the Union army. He was also military governor at Beaufort, South Carolina and assistant commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, an organization to assist ex-slaves. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his gallant defenses of Harper's Ferry against superior Confederate forces on May 26 and 30, 1862.
