Major Henry L. Burnett, 2nd Ohio Cavalry was transferred from the cavalry to the Judge Advocate Corps and was assigned to the mid-west where he tried the Knights of the Golden Circle / Sons of Liberty case against those involved in a plot to liberate Confederate POWs from camps in that area. The conspirators were convicted. One of them was Lambdin P. Milligan whose name lives in legal history thru the Supreme Court case titled Ex Parte Milligan. In April, 1865, as reported in the May 3, 1865, edition of the New York Times, Burnett received the following orders:Very Nice, Hurd! Who is he?
What does your signature sentence say? I'm guessing, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the Kitchen." LOL
I thought it might mean (not translated by the words, but by the meaning) "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" ?Very Nice, Hurd! Who is he?

Wow, I am impressed with myself. Makes up for my earlier silliness!Exactly! But I'll change it for a cool English quote when I come across one. ;-)
There is a Matthew Brady picture of him in 3Fold that has both arms but no date. just 1860-65. In his biography found, here, http://www.iment.com/maida/familytree/burnett/bioportrait.html, there is no mention of a lost arm. he was involved in the Lincoln assassination trials.Just a quick question about Col Burnett, In the photograph he has three of his tunic buttons undone, his right sleeve looks a bit odd, was he missing an arm? did he tuck his right arm sleeve into his tunic?
Ahh, maybe he had a real hand but a false arm.....
