Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Fredericksburg

Only fair to include this Mort Kunstler painting of Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (bareheaded with pistol) in the Union defeat at Fredericksburg in December, 1862 since I posted the other, Rebel, one.

Chamberlain, of course, was one of the heroes of Gettysburg, the following July. The stand (and concluding charge) of his Twentieth Maine Infantry Regiment on Little Round Top has long been called key to the 1863 Union victory.
