Burnside, born in 1824 in South Carolina. He participated in the battles of the Wilderness and Cold Harbor. He was later Governor of Rhode Island. The color lithographed wraps includes a facsimile of his signature inside the front wrap, and a list of other available booklets inside the rear wrap. There were 50 of these "small books", as they called them, including Confederate, as well as Union Officers.
