520 "Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left
his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister
and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His
colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union
army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one
of the North's greatest heroes: On the second day at
Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little
Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a
desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the
Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg
--and told by two surgeons he would die--Chamberlain
survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine
four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. How
did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine
languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a
trained minister find his way to the battlefield? Award-
winning historian Ronald C. White delves into these
contradictions in this definitive, cradle-to-death
biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, from his
upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious, empathetic
military leadership and his influential post-war public
service, exploring a question that still plagues so many
veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after
having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war?"--
