Dr. Edward Kittoe

Dr. E.D. Kittoe, surgeon of the 45th Illinois Volunteer Infantry in the first year of the war,  impressed himself upon the Army of the Tennessee by his ability, skill and superior executive force.

He was later in charge of important work in the medical department he managed.

During his long term of service, Dr, Kittoe, both as a surgeon and medical director, had no superior.  General Grant, on whose staff he served for some time as medical inspector, was  much attached to him, and had great confidence in his skill, integrity and administrative ability.
