Extremely Rare view of Union General Joseph Kiddoo. History of Kiddoo included; "The
troops composing this regiment were organized at Camp William Penn, during the month of January,
1864. with the following field officers: Joseph B. Kiddoo, Colonel,. The majority of the field and line officers
had previously served in other regiments, Colonel Kiddoo having been promoted from Sergeant of the
Sixty-third Pennsylvania to Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh, and
subsequently appointed Major of the Sixth Colored, whence he was selected to led this regiment. On the
15th of June, General Baldy Smith, who had returned from his march to Cold harbor, where he had gone
for reinforcement of Grant, led his corps to the attack of rebel entrenchments before Petersburg. The
Twenty-second headed the charge in this assault, and captured six of the seven guns taken by the
division, and two of the four forts. The victory was gained at a fearful cost to the regiment. Its loss was one
officer, Lieutenant Emery Fisher, and seventeen men killed, and five officers and one hundred and thirty-
eight men wounded and one missing. Lieutenant Colonel Gogg was among the severely wounded. Its
conduct on this occasion was warmly commended at corps and army headquarters. In the assault upon
the enemy’s strong works at Chapin’s Farm, on the 29th of September, it delivered a most daring and
impetuous charge; but was repulsed, suffering a loss of eleven men killed, two officers and two men
wounded, and eight missing. Major Cook, who led the regiment, was among the severely wounded. On
the 27th of October, Grant inaugurated a general movement along his entire lines, reaching out on his left
to Hatcher’s Run and Armstrong’s Mill, while upon the right, General Butler demonstrated his force, and
the eighteenth Corps moved upon the Richmond defenses on the Charles City and Williamsburg roads.
The Twenty-second led the column on the latter, and at a point near the old Fair Oaks Battle-ground,
charged on the rebel intrenched position with great steadiness and courage, but was again repulsed with
heavy slaughter. Colonel Kidoo, who led the charge, was severely wounded, and Captain William B.
Clark was killed. The entire loss in killed and wounded, exceeded one hundred. After this action all three of
its field officers were in the hospital at Fortress Monroe together, for wounds received in separate
engagements. Upon the fall of Richmond on the 3rd of April, 1865, this regiment was among the first of
General Weitzel’s troops to enter the city, and rendered important service in extinguishing the flames which
were raging. On account of its excellent discipline and good soldierly qualities, it was selected by General
Weitzel to proceed to Washington, after the assassination of the President, to participate in the obsequies
of his funeral, and was afterwards sent into Eastern Maryland, along the lower Potomac, to assist in the
capture of Booth and his co-conspirators. In May, the regiment re-joined the corps, and with it proceeded
by sea to Texas, where it was assigned to duty as part of the Twenty-fifth Corps, where it maintained patrol
duty for four months along the Rio Grande River. It returned to Philadelphia in October, where, on the 16th,
it was mustered out of service. Backmark of Lemur Harrisburg Pa with a 2c Revenue stamp.
Nice view shown wearing his General's yellow sash and holding on to a cane for support
