   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. I loved this book and I have many Civil War books. Reminds me of the way Bruce Catton wrote. Lots of information, some that one does not find in the more noted Civil War histories, and it feels up close and personal. (  ) kconner | Mar 1, 2015 |  Superb account of a volunteer regiment and of Joshua Chamberlain , who played a key part in saving the Union line on the second day at the battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. I had read an earlier version of this book in my early adult years and it was a pleasure to read this latest version in my senior years. The author conveys a vivid picture of farmers , fisherman and outdoors Maine men and their transformation into veteran soldiers during the course of the war.

"We went into the fight with 386, all told--358 guns. Every pioneer and musician who would carry a musket went into the ranks. Even the sick and footsore, who could not keep up in the march, came up as soon as they could find their regiments, and took their places in line of battle, while it was battle, indeed." --Col. Joshua Chamberlain The fascinating story of Joshua Chamberlain and his volunteer regiment, the Twentieth Maine, is reprinted with a new foreword by Civil War historian and UCLA professor Joan Waugh. Pullen's classic and highly acclaimed book tells how Chamberlain and his men fought at Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville on their way to the pivotal battle of Gettysburg. There, on July 2, 1863, at Little Round Top, they heroically saved the left flank of the Union battle line. The Twentieth Maine's remarkable story ends with the surrender of Lee's troops at Appomattox. Considered by Civil War historians to be one of the best regimental histories ever written, this beloved standard of American history is now available in a new Stackpole edition. Includes maps, photographs, and drawings from the original edition. No library descriptions found. |
