[edit] Pronunciation?

Am I correct in thinking that his surname is pronounced CO-burn? RickK 06:18, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, yes. I read on a research website that his name is pronounced coburn and that people of his era told him to "Go burn" because it rhymed and sounded like his name and, coincidentally, he had been leading raids through the eastern part of America, burning down towns if he met resistance. 98.197.52.253 04:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
