Don't need to be a military fanboy to know that's Ambrose E. Burnside

His name is the origin of the word "sideburns"

Besides the fact that you can just make out his name at the bottom, that'd be General Philip Sheridan

US General Philip H. Sheridan was one of the Union's most celebrated cavalry commanders during the American Civil War. Later, fought in the Indian Wars.
There is a widely told story attributed to Sheridan during his campaign against the Indians. Comanche Chief Tosawi reputedly told Sheridan in 1869, "Me, Tosawi; me good Injun," to which Sheridan replied, "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead." The quote was twisted into "The only good Indian is a dead Indian," a slightly more pejorative version that have been used ever since to cast aspersions on his Indian-fighting career. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sheridan

And here he is, with a beard, in an engraving that appeared in Harper's Weekly, 1864.
I love the art of engraving and Harper's used good engravers during the ACW.

Ambrose Everett Burnside (May 23, 1824 – September 13, 1881) was a railroad executive, an industrialist, and a politician from Rhode Island, serving as governor and a U.S. Senator. As a Union Army general in the American Civil War, he was defeated in the disastrous Battle of Fredericksburg and led the fiasco at The Crater in the Petersburg siege. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose_Burnside
He was a genial, dapper man whose side whiskers set a fashion, but he was also one of the worst generals in the Union Army and that's SAYING something in that group.

While Burnside takes the blame the truth is it was Mead that screwed up the attack plans for the Battle of the Crater.

Burside's plan was to first send in fresh troops trained for the assault, these troops happened to be black. Mead though it wouldn't look good politically to send in black troops first to get slaughtered like that and changed the plan.

I pity Burnside when sure he's screwed up, but he told the high command he wasn't the best of generals, yet they gave him every opprotunity to prove it. Making Burnside's mistakes look small next to the idiots that put him in command in the first place.

And for that, I feel he's been given a raw deal next to the true idiot of the Army of the Potomac, General Mead.

Massive and rapid expansion of the army without the institutional setup that trains officers to take higher command.

Basically, the US Army was tiny, then it expanded immensely and they needed people in charge. Often that was the first guy they could get ahold of, as most of the generals who were worth a damn headed to Dixieland to defend their homeland.

Basically the US army has never thought it to be prudent to have an army designed for massive expansions, even though thats always what happens to it in every (major) war. Go figure.
