| General Ambrose E Burnsides |
While doing some research on my new book, South Union, I came across the picture of Union General Ambrose E. Burnsides. He became famous during the Civil War because of his unusual style of facial hair. After several of his soldiers grew their hair in the same manner, the look was soon called "sideburns" to honor Burnsides. The style became popular and the word sideburns became a part of our vocabulary.
