You need to check out the library in Rugby Tn. They have original copies of the civil war entries there.
My Great X4 Grandfather, as well as a Great X4 Uncle were in the 1st Maine Veteran Volunteer Inf. Regiment, Company H.

Chamberlain was a renaissance man. I have read many books about him and he was a hero and a man before his time.

Remember the ghost of paul revere. Sadly, due to COVID restrictions in new England where they were popular, they couldnt financially continue. I got to see them three times during the pandemic. There concert had 10,000 people in portland, maone. "And then appeared our lion, he was roaring bayonets And we charged on down the mountain with what forces we had left 'Cause we're as steadfast as Katahdin, we're as hard as winter's rain Go straight to hell with your rebel yell, we are the boys of Maine!"

My 3rd great grandfather was admitted to this institution in his old age and resided there for about 2 years before returning home to Rhode Island where he passed. I’d imagine he came home as a hospice situation.

Sadly about two-thirds died from disease in the American Civil War, rather than in combat. This is but one of countless similar tragic stories during the war.

Went to Petersburg battlefield on June 17th. I saw their monument and never knew their story and realized the 160th anniversary was the next day. So I went back and laid some flowers at 4:30PM when their assault began that day. No one else was there but hopefully we can spread their story so their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Were they offered medals to stay? Or were they awarded MOH's for staying?
@MaineatGettysburg6 ай бұрын
They were offered medals to stay, but they received the medals much later after the soldiers had returned home. The medals were ultimately rescinded as the eligibility requirements for receiving the MOH had changed.

Yet he was also a so-so to bad commander with battles like Chancellorsville and Gettysburg being the low points. Decent Bridge Commander, bad Corps Commander and didn't really have an impact as an Army Commander.

Colonial Chamberlain would never down play the performance of his men nor would he elevate himself above any in his command. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is the true definition of a citizen soldier. God bless his memory and all who served by his side. 🇺🇸 🕯 🇺🇸

Why is an artillery unit acting as infantry?
@MaineatGettysburg8 ай бұрын
The 1st Maine Heavy Artillery was originally assigned to the defense of Washington D.C., but was then assigned to the Overland Campaign to meet Grant’s orders for fresh troops due to the heavy casualties the Union Army suffered. Many other Heavy Artillery Regiments defending D.C. at the time moved to the front in the same manner.
