ANYONE WILLING TO GIVE THEIR LIFE FOR THEIR COUNTRY, FAMILY OR BUDDIESChamberlain, turning down the opportunity to become a minister or missionary, he accepted a position at Bowdoin teaching rhetoric (which combined elements of what we would now call speech with English literature and persuasive writing)and, later, modern languages (i.e., German and French). A good scholar, he was also an orthodox Congregationalist -- an important factor to his Bowdoin colleagues, for the College was embroiled in the denominational quarrels of the day.Chamberlain knew little of soldiering -- despite a short time as a boy at a military school at Ellsworth -- but he was keenly aware that his father had commanded troops in the bloodless Aroostook War of 1839 with Canada, his grandfather had been locally prominent in the War of 1812, and his great-grandfathers had participated in the Revolution. When the sectional crisis led to civil war in 1861, Chamberlain felt a strong urge to fight to save the union. (Although sympathetic to the plight of the slaves, he is not known to have been an abolitionist and showed little interest, after the war, in the cause of the freedmen.) But the college was reluctant to lose his services. Offered a year's travel with pay in Europe in 1862 to study languages, Chamberlain instead volunteered his military services to Maine's governor. He was soon made lieutenant colonel of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment.His extraordinary Civil War career is much admired today, thanks to books like John J. Pullen's The Twentieth Maine and Alice R. Trulock's biography In the Hands of Providence, documentaries like Ken Burns's The Civil War, and novels like Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels (which was made into the movie Gettysburg, with Jeff Daniels portraying Chamberlain). From Antietam in 1862 to the triumphal grand review of the armies in May of 1865, Chamberlain saw much of the war in the East, including 24 battles and numerous skirmishes. He was wounded six times -- once, almost fatally -- and had six horses shot from under him.He is best remembered for two great events: the action at Little Round Top, on the second day of Gettysburg (2 July 1863), when then-Colonel Chamberlain and the 20th Maine held the extreme left flank of the Union line against a fierce rebel attack, and the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox, when Grant chose Chamberlain to receive the formal surrender of weapons and colors (12 April 1865). Always a chivalrous man, Chamberlain had his men salute the defeated Confederates as they marched by, evidence of his admiration of their valor and of Grant's wish to encourage the rebel armies still in the field to accept the peace.Joshua L.
