General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick (1836-1881) was born in Sussex, New Jersey, and graduated from West Point in 1861. After starting out with the First U.S. Artillery, Kilpatrick would serve under General George Stoneman, and would earn praise for raids he led near Richmond. He would also distinguish himself by fighting a battle with Confederate General Jeb Stuart, which delayed Stuart's arrival at Gettysburg. He also served with George A. Custer in another battle with Jeb Stuart. He was considered somewhat ruthless in battle, but was also known for his courage. He would be appointed minister to Chile (1865-1868) by President Andrew Johnson. The present work presents many of Kilpatrick's military campaigns. ANB. # 104080.
