I need help with this for a TL I'm working on. For it I need a Union General with at least decent skills and at least a passing interest in engineering. The best fit for this bill that I have found so far is General Ambrose Burnside since over the course of his life he was a Soldier, inventor, and industrialist. Sadly I also need the person in question to have command over at least a small group of men during 1865 but Burnside was removed from command during the summer of 1864 after the Union loss at The Battle of the Crater. So my challenge for you is to help me create a POD that leaves Burnside in a position of command during 1864. Achieve this by whatever means you please be it changing the outcome of The Battle of the Crater, changing how the people involved where punished in OTL, having Burnside's command given back after is suspension, etc.
