There are many who hold that Chamberlain's defence of Little Round Top turned the tide at Gettysburg and thus saved the Union. Chamberlain was a born soldier but he planned originally to be a missionary. A graduate of Bangor Theological Seminary, he was an instructor in religion at Bowdoin College with the Civil War broke out and he discovered his true vocation. His career was one of exceptional gallantry. He was an officer always in the thick of battle Fourteen horses were shot under him, and finally he was terribly wounded, yet recovered to fight in the closing campaign of the War. He was designated to receive the surrender of the Confederate infantry after the Appomattox meeting of Grant and Lee, and he played the role with magnanimity. Chamberlain's peacetime career was no less notable. Four times he was elected Governor of the State of Maine, and he made a good governor. Then he became president of Bowdoin College and instituted there a progressive educational policy. Civil War, American Biography, United States History, U. S.
