There is a fantastic painting of Joshua Chamberlain, who died not long after this reunion, at Little Round Top in his suit in 1913 looking out at ghosts doing battle.

Just an odd tidbit of info:

George Pickett’s wife “Sallie” attended that reunion with a date - a former UNION General. I did some research for a biographer of Pickett and he sent me to a woman’s house in Arlington VA - a relative of Sallie - she had letters etc back and forth with this General..It’s been 15 years so I can’t remember his name but he wasn’t well known.

If you have a link to this painting, could you please provide it? I’d love to see it.

If you have a link to a copy of it, I'd really like to see it.

Chamberlain actually attended the organizing committee session in Gettysburg for the 1913 reunion (probably the easiest place to find a recounting of it is at the end of Jeff Shaara's "Last Full Measure"), but fell ill soon after and died the following February.

I assume this is the painting? (yes, Google-fu is strong in me.)



You're right, it's fantastic. If slightly inaccurate. When Chamberlain would visit Little Round Top, his preferred perch was that boulder that he and Oates argued over for the rest of their lives.
