Biography

D. J. Daniels was a state legislator in Alabama who served in the Alabama Senate in 1872 representing Russell County. He served in the Alabama House of Representatives in 1874 until being ousted for not being registered or having taken an oath.

Daniels and Prince Gardner received more than 2,600 votes while the candidates who replaced them, W. H. Chamber and A. G. Jones, received less than 2,000. He spoke out in protest against the resolution to defeat the Sumner Civil Right Bill, saying the bill was "what I think is right and justice" and that the resolution caused other legislators to "violate their solemn oath". He and other 1872 Alabama Senators were photographed on the capitol steps; that photograph is in the Alabama Department of Archives and History. He is also associated with the book EM detection of concealed targets (2009).
