  • "Alice Rains Trulock chronicles the life and military career of Joshua L. Chamberlain, a college professor who became one of the Union's most decorated war heroes during the American Civil War. Fighting in Fredericksburg and Gettysburg and wounded six times in all, Chamberlain was selected by General Ulysses S. Grant after the siege at Petersburg to receive the Confederate surrender at Appomattox."@en
  • "Joshua Chamberlain of Maine forged a remarkable career during the Civil War. An academic and theologian by training, this modest young professor left Bowdoin College to accept a commission as lieutenant colonel of the Twentieth Maine. He fought at Antietam and Fredericksburg, then led his regiment to glory at Gettysburg, where he ordered the brilliant charge that saved Little Round Top. Promoted to brigade command, Chamberlain won a battlefield promotion to brigadier general from Ulysses S. Grant for his distinguished conduct in the assaults against Petersburg. He was held in such high esteem by his superior officers that Grant accorded him the honor of receiving the formal Confederate surrender at Appomattox. There Chamberlain endeared himself to succeeding generations with his unforgettable salute to Robert E. Lee's defeated army."
