The Worst Generals of the Civil War, part 4: Ambrose Burnside

https://medium.com/@xybuster1/the-worst-generals-of-the-civil-war-4-ambrose-burnside-3714da413491

The latest in historian Christopher Burchfield's survey of the worst Civil War Generals.

Burnside was a decent man who knew he was in over his head, but unfortunately, his superiors wouldn't listen to him, not until after the horrific Battle of the Crater.

Christopher Burchfield wishes me to thank everyone on this excellent thread for your thoughtful comments on his past articles. He really enjoyed hearing them as I read them back to him.

Thanks for reading!
