721. AMBROSE E. BURNSIDE (1824-1881) Union major general who is known for the disastrous charges made at Fredericksburg in 1862, and the nicknaming of distinctive facial hair. Partly-printed D.S. 1p. 8vo., New York, Jan. 27, 1869, a one hundred share stock certificate issued to Burnside by the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad Co. and signed by him as President at bottom. Signature very slightly affected by a cut cancel (no paper loss), with circular cut cancel elsewhere in text, marginal wear, else very good. While these certificates have appeared on the market before, we have not seen one issued to Burnside himself. $150-200
