 John W. Burke Memoir
The relatively luxurious tents brought by Burke and Lt. John W. Oliver elicited hard feelings on the parts of some enlisted men who felt that Co. H was given preference by the colonel, since they were from the same town.
The author is very tentatively identified as John W. Burke, who came with the Sag Harbor contingent and was mustered into Co. H as a private on December 19th, later becoming Sergeant and Lieutenant (shortly after the end of this diary).
Whoever he was, the author was a proficient writer, able to convey the emotions of the battlefield, the sights and smells of death, and the trivia of daily life in camp with a pleasing vibrancy and intelligence.

 Splendid Magazine reviews John Burke: Remember Your Power: Music of John Burke
Canadian composer John Burke espouses a recent interest in music-as-medicine, but his compositions share little with the faux New Age diatonic burblings of many "holistic" artists.
All of this may sound like an eclectic assemblage, and indeed it is, but Burke marshals these varied stylistic materials into a compelling whole in the two large scale compositions presented here.
Burke's String Quartet is actually in a fairly modernist vein, sometimes evoking Ligeti in its aggressive arpeggiations, use of coloristic effects and dissonant counterpoint.

 Errors in Burke's Peerage
The Burkes were a family of historians, genealogists and heralds who between 1826 and 1930 assembled a popular series of genealogical directories which can still be found on the shelves of many public libraries.
Although it is encouraging to note that for Ogilvy of Airlie the 1970 edition uses the title of Lord in the main body of the entry, the list of titles at the foot of the article allocates the abbreviation of B for Baron with the date of the 1491 creation.
Burke's Peerage does correctly use "Henry, 3rd Lord Sinclair" in the Sinclair entry, but describes his wife Margaret as the daughter of the 1st Earl of Bothwell, whereas she was the daughter of the Master of Hailes, father of the 1st Earl, and was thus the sister, not the daughter, of the 1st Earl.
