Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies: General Ambrose E. Burnside's Account of the Overland Campaign (Illustrated)
Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 – September 13, 1881) was an American soldier, railroad executive, inventor, industrialist, and politician from Rhode Island, serving as governor and a U.S. Senator. But he’s best known as the Union General who commanded the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Fredericksburg, a debacle that quickly got him fired from command. He was also in command of the Battle of the Crater during the siege of Petersburg, another Union debacle. Burnside’s distinctive style of facial hair is now known as sideburns, derived from his last name.
As Commanding General of the United States Army from 1864 to 1865, Grant confronted Robert E. Lee in a series of very high casualty battles known as the Overland Campaign that ended in a stalemate siege at Petersburg. During the siege, Grant coordinated a series of devastating campaigns launched by William Tecumseh Sherman, Philip Sheridan, and George Thomas. Finally breaking through Lee's trenches at Petersburg, the Army of the Potomac captured Richmond, the Confederate capital, in April 1865. Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox. Soon after, the Confederacy collapsed and the Civil War ended.
Burnside wrote an official account of the Overland Campaign, during which he commanded the IX Corps, and it became part of The War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. This edition of his account includes maps of the campaign and pictures of the important commanders of the battle.
