Portrait photo circa 1870s of American soldier, railroad executive, industrialist and politician Ambrose Everett Burnside (1824 - 1881). Burnside served as a Union Army General in the American Civil War, conducting successful campaigns in North Carolina and East Tennessee but suffering a disastrous defeat commanding the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Fredericksburg (December 11 - 15 1862). He was also the Governor of Rhode Island (1866 - 1869) and US Senator for Rhode Island (1875 - 1881). Burnside has another, unusual, claim to fame - his distinctive facial hair gave rise to the term "sideburns". Burnside sported strips of hair in front of his ears which joined his moustache at either side but his chin remained clean shaven - the term "burnsides", derived from his surname, was coined to describe this and over time the syllables were reversed and the term became "sideburns".

Colour print circa 1888 depicting the Siege of Vicksburg during the US Civil War. The siege, from May 25 - July 4 1863, occurred after Union Major General Ulysses S Grant and his Army of the Tennessee crossed the Mississippi River and drove Confederate forces under Lieutenant General John C Pemberton into the defensive lines surrounding the fortress city of Vicksburg. Two initial Union assaults were repulsed and Grant then besieged the garrison for more than 40 days before it finally surrendered. The Confederate surrender, when combined with General Robert E Lee's defeat at Gettysburg the previous day, is sometimes seen as the turning point of the war. Print by L Prang & Co.

He captured the city of Atlanta in September 1864 and then undertook his famous "March to the sea" - sweeping across Georgia during November and December 1864 and capturing the port of Savannah. Sherman then marched up through the Carolinas before accepting the surrender of Confederate forces in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida in April 1865. Sherman became Commanding General of the US Army in 1869 when Grant became President and was responsible for army conduct in the Indian Wars in the western USA for the next 15 years.

Portrait print circa 1852 of Franklin Pierce as a General on horseback. Pierce (1804 - 1869) was the 14th US President, holding office from 1853 to 1857. Prior to that he served in the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848) and reached the rank of Brigadier General. Pierce is often branded one of the worst US Presidents because of some of the decisions he made and controversy surrounding the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Ostend Manifesto. The engraving, by Waterman Lilly Ormsby (1834 - 1908), depicts a Mexican War battle scene, showing Chapultepec Castle and the Popocatépetl volcano in the background.

Prior to his election he was a military leader who had a 40-year career in the US Army and was known as "Old Rough and Ready". He served in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War and the Second Seminole War before leading American troops to victory in several critical battles during the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). Taylor, the first President who had never held any previous elected office, died just 16 months into his term, possibly from gastroenteritis. Photo by Mathew B Brady.

Lithograph colour print depicting George Washington, on horseback, in action during the Battle of the Monongahela. The battle took place on July 9 1755 in the vicinity of present day Braddock, Pennsylvania, and saw a British force under General Edward Braddock defeated by an alliance of French troops and Native Americans. Washington, a Colonel, was an aide to Braddock, who was fatally wounded in the fighting, and distinguished himself by riding back and forth across the battlefield, rallying the remnants of the defeated British forces and helping to ensure they made an organised retreat. Washington (1732 - 1799) later became the commander of the Continental Army (1775 – 1783) in the American Revolutionary War and the first US President (1789 - 1797). Print circa 1854 by Regnier, based on a painting by Junius Brutus Stearns (1810 - 1885).

Portrait print circa 1841 of William Henry Harrison. Harrison (1773 - 1841) was the ninth US President (1841), the oldest elected until Ronald Reagan in 1980, and the first to die in office. He died on his thirty-second day as President - the shortest tenure in American presidential history - and his death caused a brief constitutional crisis which ultimately resolved many issues about the Presidential succession. Prior to taking office Harrison was an army officer who gained national fame for leading US forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. He was also a General in the War of 1812 and was victorious at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. Engraving by John Sartain (1808 - 1897), based on a painting by James Reid Lambdin (1807 - 1889).

Jackson was a dominant figure in US politics in the 1820s and 1830s and had a reputation for toughness which earned him the nickname of "Old Hickory". He was also the military governor of Florida in 1821 and commanded the American forces which defeated the invading British Army at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 (the final major battle of the War of 1812).

Portrait photo circa 1860s of Sergeant Thomas "Boston" Corbett (1832 - c1894) - the Union Army soldier who fatally shot John Wilkes Booth (Abraham Lincoln's assassin). Corbett was a member of the 16th New York Cavalry Regiment which was sent to capture Booth after President Lincoln was gunned down in Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865. The troops cornered Booth and co-conspirator David Herold in a barn in Virginia on April 26 and Herold surrendered after the barn was set alight. Booth remained inside and Corbett shot him through a large crack in the barn wall - despite orders that he should be taken alive. Booth died of his injuries a few hours later and Corbett was arrested for violating orders but charges were later dropped. Corbett, who had a history of mental illness, left the army in August 1865 and his later life was marked by increasingly erratic behaviour, possibly due to mercury exposure in his profession as a hatter. Corbett disappeared after 1888 but is thought to have settled in a cabin he built in forests near Hinckley, Minnesota - he is believed to have died in the Great Hinckley Fire of 1894 which claimed hundreds of lives.

American Civil War photograph taken at Westover Landing, Virginia, in August 1862 of Union cavalry officers. Pictured from left to right: Lieutenant W H Brown, 5th US Cavalry; Lieutenant H H King, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Colonel William Woods Averell, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Lieutenant Phillip Pollard, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. The picture was taken during the Peninsula Campaign - a major Union operation launched in south-eastern Virginia in March 1862 and the first large scale offensive in the Eastern Theater of war. It aimed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by circumventing the Confederate Army in Northern Virginia but ended in a defeat for the Union. The photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 – 1882) is also notable in hindsight because of the presence of Colonel Averell (sitting). Averell (1832 - 1900), who rose to the rank of brevet Major General, became a diplomat after the war ended and subsequently became famous and wealthy by inventing American asphalt pavement.

Washington (1732 - 1799) was the commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783) and the first US President (1789 - 1797). The Battle of Trenton took place on December 26 1776 after Washington crossed the Delaware River north of Trenton, New Jersey, in hazardous weather and led his army against Hessian soldiers garrisoned at Trenton. Almost the entire Hessian force was captured, with negligible American losses, and the battle boosted the Continental Army's flagging morale.

Portrait photo circa 1860s of American lawyer and politician Edwin M Stanton. Stanton (1814 - 1869) served as US Attorney General (1860 - 1861) before becoming Secretary of War from 1862 to 1868 under President Abraham Lincoln and then President Andrew Johnson. He is credited with helping the Union achieve victory in the American Civil War by efficiently managing the military resources of the North. Stanton remained in his post following the assassination of Lincoln but opposed the lenient policies of President Johnson towards former Confederate States after the war ended. Johnson's attempt to dismiss him led the House of Representatives to impeach the President in 1868 but Johnson was subsequently acquitted of "high crimes and misdemeanors". Stanton, who had refused to leave office, resigned after the acquittal and returned to practising law before his death the following year. Photo by Mathew B Brady.

Portrait photo circa 1867 of John Surratt in the uniform of a Papal Zouave. Surratt (1844 - 1916) was suspected of being involved in the plot to assassinate US President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865. He fled the country after actor John Wilkes Booth fatally shot Lincoln at Ford's Theatre on April 14 and served briefly as a Papal Zouave in the Vatican City but was eventually tracked down, arrested and extradited back to the US in 1867. Surratt was tried in a civilian court, unlike other conspirators (including his mother Mary) who were executed in 1865 after being convicted by a military tribunal. Surratt admitted being part of an earlier plot to kidnap Lincoln but denied being part of the assassination. He was eventually released from custody in 1868 after a jury were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the conspiracy to murder allegation and the statute of limitations was deemed to have expired on lesser charges.

Print engraving of George Washington entitled "Father, I cannot tell a lie: I cut the tree". It depicts Washington as a young boy confessing to his father Augustine (1694 - 1743) that he had killed one of his cherry trees with a hatchet. The legend, designed to show Washington's honesty, goes that Washington was given a hatchet at the age of about six and began chopping at things in the garden, hitting and killing one of his father's trees in the process. When his angry father discovered the tree he questioned the young boy who immediately confessed - delighting his parent with his honesty. Washington (1732 - 1799) grew up to become the commander of the Continental Army (1775 – 1783) in the American Revolutionary War and the first US President (1789 - 1797).

Conspirator David Herold in irons at the Washington Navy Yard in April 1865 following the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Herold (1842 - 1865) was one of a number of people involved in the plot to simultaneously kill Lincoln and other Union leaders on the night of April 14. While John Wilkes Booth succeeded in fatally shooting Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Herold led fellow conspirator Lewis Powell to the home of Secretary of State William H Seward. Powell forced his way into Seward's bedroom, where he was recovering from a carriage accident, and repeatedly stabbed him but Seward survived the attack. Herold, who was outside, fled after hearing the commotion and later met up with Booth, remaining with him until the pair were cornered in a barn in Virginia. Booth was shot dead but Herold surrendered and was subsequently tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal. He was hanged on July 7 with fellow convicted conspirators Powell, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt. Photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 - 1882).

Conspirator Lewis Powell in irons on board the USS Saugus at the Washington Navy Yard in April 1865 following the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Powell (1844 - 1865), also known as Lewis Payne or Lewis Paine, was one of a number of people involved in the plot to simultaneously kill Lincoln and other Union leaders on the night of April 14. While John Wilkes Booth succeeded in fatally shooting Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Powell failed in a bid to murder Secretary of State William H Seward at Seward's home. Powell forced his way into Seward's bedroom, where he was recovering from a carriage accident, and repeatedly stabbed him but Seward survived the attack. Powell, a former Confederate soldier, fled the scene but was subsequently captured, tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal. He was hanged on July 7 with fellow convicted conspirators David Herold, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt. Photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 - 1882).

Undated print depicting Napoleon Bonaparte greeting French troops and citizens on his return from the Island of Elba on March 7 1815. Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) was forced to abdicate as Emperor and exiled to the Mediterranean island under the terms of the Treaty of Fontainebleau signed on April 11 1814. He stayed on Elba for 300 days before escaping back to France in February 1815. The 5th Regiment was sent to intercept him and made contact just south of Grenoble on March 7. Napoleon is said to have approached the regiment alone, dismounted his horse and, when in gunshot range, shouted: "Here I am. Kill your Emperor, if you wish." The soldiers responded with "Vive L'Empereur!" and marched with Napoleon to Paris where Louis XVIII fled. Engraving by George Sanders (1837 - 1866), based on a painting by Charles Steuben (1788 - 1856).

Vintage print circa 1862 entitled "Emancipation of the Slaves" and depicting US President Abraham Lincoln being kissed on the hand by a freed slave after the Emancipation Proclamation issued on September 22 1862. The Proclamation ultimately consisted of two Presidential Executive Orders. The first, issued on September 22 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any Confederate states that did not return to Union control by January 1 1863. The second, issued on January 1 1863, named 10 specific states where it would apply. The proclamation did not actually make slavery in itself illegal but was a major step towards its abolition. Slavery was ultimately abolished and prohibited under the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution adopted on December 6 1865. Lincoln (1809 - 1865) was the 16th President (1861 - 1865) and the first to be assassinated. Print published by J Waeshle.

Lithograph colour print circa 1888 depicting the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War. The battle, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, took place on September 17 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was the first major engagement of the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil and the bloodiest single-day battle in American history with around 23,000 casualties. Union troops (the Army of the Potomac) were under the command of Major General George Brinton McClellan and the Confederate forces were led by General Robert Edward Lee (Army of Northern Virginia). The battle was tactically inconclusive but is often described as a strategic Union victory because it ended Lee's invasion of the North. Print by Kurz & Allison.
