burnsides

Burnsides expedition, which made possible Shermans march, depended upon Monroe as a base.

Burnsides had three hundred and seventy pieces of field artillery and forty siege guns mounted on Stafford's Heights.

General Reno with a part of Burnsides corps was on the ground by August 14th.

Burnsides delay at the bridge could not have been more fortunate for Lee if he had fixed its duration himself.

Burnsides plan had been to renew the battle, but the overwhelming opinion of the other officers prevailed.
