^#1710 ^Lot 1770 Hugh Judson Kilpatrick

American military officer (1836–1881), who, as a general in the Civil War, earned the sobriquet “Kill-Cavalry” for his gung-ho disregard for the lives of the soldiers under his command. Following the Civil War he served as the American Minister to Chile in the Johnson and Grant administrations; after a decade long hiatus, he was reappointed to that post by Garfield but died shortly after arriving at the Chilean capital. Manuscript DS, signed “J. Kilpatrick,” one page, 17 x 13.5, April 1864. Report of Persons and Articles Employed and Hired at Ringgold, GA. by Captain George E. Alden, listing one Samuel Watson as the Chief Clerk from March 11 through April 30, 1864. Signed at the conclusion by Kilpatrick and Captain Alden. Intersecting folds, some light toning and spotting, some show-through from docketing, and some mild feathering to the signature, otherwise fine condition.
