The photo I mentioned before show him in the uniform of a Major. This same photo is found in Vol. 4 of Battles and Leaders,
page 10, with the caption, Colonel D. B. Harris, C. S. A.
Both in Battles and Leaders and Vol. 4 of Lee's Lieutenants, he is listed in the indexes as Colonel.
He died of Yellow Fever October 10, 1864 at Summerville, SC.
Boatner's Civil War Dictionary provides us with: "Although Heitman and Cullum list him as a general officer, and although he
deserved to be one, he died as a Col."
