Burnett, brought her off, and added her to our park of field artillery, and we had kept her ever since. Bat we had sly, the losses were from twenty to twenty-five daily. The only officer of rank killed was my Chief of Artillery, Colonel W. E. Burnett, son of the venerable ex-President of Texas. He was a man of rare attainments, of extraordinary military capaciteaviest Parrotts, which not unfrequently burst by overcharging and over-elevation. By a capital invention of Colonel William E.

Burnett, Chief of Artillery, fell in Spanish Fort, and was almost the last officer killed during the war. D. W. Flowewee
