Description: Carte de visite of General Ambrose Everett Burnside, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. A very well-liked general, he was nevertheless roundly criticized for his handling of troops in battle. He is particularly known for his sloth in assaulting what is now known as Burnside's Bridge at Antietam, which may have resulted in a stalemate rather than a potential Union victory. Burnside also fought at Bull Run, South Mountain, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Courthouse, Cold Harbor, and the Crater. He lends a reversed form of his name to his distinctive facial hair, "side burns" View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Carte de visite of General Samuel Wylie Crawford, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. Originally from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Crawford began the war as the surgeon at Fort Sumter. Moving into military command, he fought at Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Five Forks. He is most often remembered for his actions at Gettysburg. He marched in support of Colonel Vincent on Little Round Top, but missed that part of the fighting. He arrived in time to help sweep Longstreet's troops out of the Valley of Death, an action which McCandless' brigade had already begun. Nevertheless, Crawford claimed that he was the "Savior of Little Round Top," and spent a great deal of time post-war attempting to convince everyone else of that fact. View on Ohio Memory.
