Yves, I'm not an expert, but I don't think either signature is real. And they look signed by the same person (something always to watch out for).

Sorry--but it would be good to get more opinions.

Thanks for the advice. I was skeptical myself, let's consider it a "learning experience".
How about that civil war general signature (A.E. Burnside) on EBay:

The seller is Jim Lowe, one of the top experts in historic American autographs. I don't know that material, but you can buy from him with confidence.

Follow-up on general Ambrose Everett Burnside (1824-1881) autograph:

("very truly your friend, A. E. Burnside, late Maj Genl")

My own personal "Holy Grail" so far!
I doubt there are many like it in Canada...
