Lot Description

Outdoor view of Burnside Rifle Works, Providence, RI, as captioned below image, uncredited.

Before the Civil War, Ambrose Burnside (1824-1881) was a prominent rifle manufacturer. He owned the Burnside Rifle Company, which was considered one of the most respected arms manufacturers during the 19th century. However, at the outbreak of the Civil War, Burnside, who was a brigadier general in the Rhode Island Militia at the time, quickly answered the call for troops and raised the 1st Rhode Island Volunteers in April 1861. Within a year, he was appointed a major general and compiled an extensive if unspectacular war record including a stint as Army of the Potomac commander.
