High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS General Burnside (1862) was a Steamship acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Navy as a gunboat, and was assigned to patrol waterways in the Confederate South. General Burnside, built in 1862 at Wilmington, Delaware, was sold to the U.S. War Department in 1863; chartered by the Union Navy; commissioned 8 August 1864 at Bridgeport, Alabama, Acting Volunteer Lt. H. A. Glassford in command. On 27 December 1864 she helped repulse Confederate attacks at Decatur. She was hulled several times while exchanging gunfire with Confederate sharpshooters. This gunboat action in concert with Union Army land forces brought about the evacuation of Decatur by the Confederates and left the upper Tennessee region under firm Union control.
