He CO m-nianded that regi-ment in the Depart-ment of the Gulf, in T863, and was in the siege of Port Hudson. In theassault of June 14, he was dangerously woumled inthe thigh. General Kimball served nearly three yearsin the army and was made brevet brigadier-general ofthe United States Volunteers, for gallant and distin-guished services in the field during the war. .Afterhis return from the front he re-organized the Fitch-burg Fusileers, in 1866, and again took command ascaptain. He continued in the State Militia almost con-. tinuously until 1878, and was colonel of the TenthRegiment from 1876 to 1878. General Kimball hasserved the public in a number of important officesand has always had a reputation for the most faithfuland efficient service. One of the most responsiblepositions he ever held was that of custodian of rolls,dies and plates, etc., used in the printing of bonds,treasury notes, national currency, and all the securi-ties of the government, in the bureau of engraving and printing at \\ash-ington. He had thehonor of being rec-ommended for thisposition, unknownto himself, by Gen-eral Charles Devens,colonel of his firstregiment, whose im-plicit confidence inGeneral Kimball wassuch that he said inhis recommendation,that he not onlyrecommended hisappoint m e n t, b u twould become ])er-sonally responsib 1 efor his honesty andintegrity.
