Historian Frank O'Reilly in his book on Fredericksburg says the Yanks had 8 corps under Burnside. But Burnside had grouped 6 corps in 3 grand divisions. Imn familiar with the AoP ever having 8 corps. Did they really have 8 corps at Fredericksburg? If so, why weren't the other 2 not put into grand divisions?
