Fought at Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Spotsylvania, and Battle of the Wilderness. Rose to Brigadier General and was wounded at Antietam and Gettysburg.

Burnside", framed and measures 11-1/2" x 9". Ambrose Everett Burnside was a Union General that fought at Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksburg.

Howard.
