I’m a Southern man born and bred. Many in my family died fighting for the Confederacy. Having said that, Chamberlain was a man of honor and courage. The bayonet charge of the 20th Maine was nothing short of brilliant. What I would give to fight beside a man like him.

On my father’s side, two of my great-great-grandfathers fought in the Union Army through all four years of the war. But, on my mom’s side, the family came from Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri...and so I have forebears on both sides.
President Lincoln, at Gettysburg, set the stage for the healing of this great nation by honoring both sides. He was a truly great man.

I love walking the battlefield early in the morning with the mist still hanging in the air and no one else around. It’s eerie.

They certainly don’t make college professors like that anymore.

My granddad probably fought your granddad. He fought all the way down to Nashville and Chattanooga.

On my father’s side my relative was in the 1st Maine calvary. They got to the battlefield on the 2nd and saw action on the 3rd.

Nope. Thank God it has been preserved.

Holy crap. He’s lucky he got out of there alive.
To: EternalVigilance
He died the following year in Virginia from a fever.
