About
Joshua L. Chamberlain of Maine was an academic and theologian by training, but he led his regiment to glory at Gettysburg, where he ordered the brilliant charge that avoided a Union catastrophe. He was held in such high esteem by his superiors that Grant accorded him the honor of receiving the formal Confederate surrender at Appomattox.
