Joshua Chamberlain became the "hero of Gettysburg" when he and his
regiment, the 20th Maine, bravely held Little Round Top against a
determined Rebel assault. Chamberlain's reputation as a celebrated
soldier continued to grow in the decades that followed the war.
Yet, Joshua Chamberlain, the soldier, is only part of the story of
his remarkable life.Edward G. Longacre's biography of Joshua
Chamberlain is the first biography to examine the entire life and
career of this complicated man. The author skillfully investigates
and analyzes all aspects of his life and character-before and after
the Civil War. And Longacre re-examines Chamberlain's extraordinary
military career as a Union officer, drawing on independent-and
occasionally contradictory-eyewitness accounts of his battlefield
actions. Longacre's meticulous research also suggests that
Chamberlain's own account of his military actions can no longer be
taken entirely at face value.
