EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Major General Ambrose E. Burnside, a prominent figure in the American Civil War. The photograph, believed to have been taken around 1880, immortalizes Burnside's commanding presence as he dons his military uniform and cap. Burnside is best remembered for leading the Union Army of the Potomac during the Battle of Fredericksburg, an infamous clash that resulted in a devastating defeat for his forces at the hands of General Robert E. Lee. Over 12,000 casualties were suffered by Burnside's troops during this fateful encounter. Aside from his military prowess, Burnside's most distinctive feature was undoubtedly his unique facial hair arrangement which extended down each side of his face - giving rise to the term "sideburns". This iconic style has since become synonymous with him and continues to be popular even today. The print itself is part of Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, Volume III - a comprehensive account chronicling America's past. It serves as a powerful reminder of one man's significant role in shaping history and pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this image captured over a century ago, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and sacrifice. Major General Ambrose E. Burnside stands tall amidst it all; a symbol of resilience and determination etched forever in our nation's memory.
