The product is an original CDV from the 1860s featuring Major-General Hugh Kilpatrick, a prominent figure in the Civil War. This vintage album print captures a key moment in American history and is a valuable collectible for enthusiasts of militaria.

Originating from the United States, this item holds historical significance and is a unique piece of memorabilia from the Civil War era. Hugh Judson Kilpatrick (January 14, 1836 - December 4, 1881) was an officer in the Union army during the American Civil War, achieving the rank of major general. He was later the United States Minister to Chile and an unsuccessful candidate for the U. Nicknamed "Kilcavalry" (or "Kill-Cavalry") for using tactics in battle that were considered as recklessly disregarding the lives of soldiers under his command, Kilpatrick was both praised for the victories he achieved, and despised by Southerners whose homes and towns he devastated.
