Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (1828-1914) is one of the Civil War’s heroic figures. As regimental commander of the 20th Maine he won the Medal of Honor at the Battle of Gettysburg’s Little Round Top. General Grant later selected him to receive the surrender of the Confederate Army at Appomattox, and after the war he went on to serve two terms as Governor of Maine.
