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. Uncommon Civil War-dated 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite full-length portrait of Hugh Judson Kilpatrick in uniform, by Brady of New York, signed in the lower border in black ink, "Jud. Kilpatrick." On the reverse, Kilpatrick adds his rank and unit: "Colonel 2nd N. Y. Cav., 'Harris Light,' June 1863." In fine condition.
