Facts about Ol' Mutton Whiskers

                                                 

    My full name is Ambrose Everett Burnside. I have had many jobs in the past I was an  American soldier, railroad executive, .inventor, industrialist, and politician. I was born in Liberty, Indiana.  I served as a governor in Rhode Island I was also a  U.S. Senator.  As a Union Army general in the American Civil War I conducted successful campaigns in North Carolina and East Tennessee but I  was defeated in the disastrous Battle of Fredericksburg and Battle of the Crater. 

I was known for my distinctive style of facial hair is now known as sideburns, derived from my last name.

   My nickname is  Burn but just recently I now call my self Ol' Mutton Whiskers. I served many years being in the army from  1847 to 1865. Although I find it ironic how I made it so far in the army. As a child I was in a army based school where I was no good at being an actual soldier. Instead I was in control of fire arms. Later on in my life I invented the Burnside Carbine Rifle which was the third most used gun in the Civil war.  Lastly, for a little spice, I met with Abraham Lincoln. He made me successor after McClellan was let go in November. I soon quit because I found it most difficult to have the favor of the people who worked for me. I also consider myself a veteran I have fought just about 19 battles in my lifetime.

Well that is it for now if you have any questions just shoot me a message and i'll be sure to answer them as quickly as possible.

Sincerely, 

Ambrose E. Burnside

Hey Burnside! How have you been? Is the family doing alright? Well I just wanted to say how amazing you were in the battles that we part took in. Such as the: Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, North Ana, and  Cold Harbor. I just was admired how you commanded the troops in the Battle of Crater, even though you weren't successful you did all that you could. I also heard rumor of you stepping down in April? I hope this isn't true you are a fine commander. Well I should be getting of I have some of my own battles to carry on to.

Bye for now. 

Hey this is Ol' Honest Abe stopping by to invite you to a special get together I am having. I am pleased to announce that I would like to promote you to Successor. Ever Since McClellan in November from the Army of the Potomac I realized how many trials you have been through and for that I would like to reward you. Congratulations! See you soon. 

Hello Whiskers! I just wanted to stop by and say it is an honor to have you as my left wing. This battle in North Carolina is going to be tough one but, I'm sure with the two of us in command there shouldn't be to much blood shed. Well take care and hope to see you soon at the battle of Antietam.
