Through Blood and Fire at Gettysburg

My God that guy can write! I was never more moved than by this short booklet.

I read it (except for Chamberlain's 8 page hand written report at the end) on Tuesday, August 15, 2017. This reading was stimulated by my receipt of '"Bayonet! Forward" My Civil War Reminiscenes', also by Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. This booklet is actually Chapter 2 of that larger book, without the photographs and the handwritten report and with differences in maps.

If you read the booklet, I suggest that you have a good map(s) available. ( )

A valiant accounting of what happened on Little Round Top with the men of the Twentieth Maine led by Col. Joshua Chamberlain. ( )
