    H-CivWar Stacy on Desjardin, 'Stand Firm Ye Boys from Maine: The 20th Maine and the Gettysburg Campaign' Review published on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 Thomas A. Desjardin. Stand Firm Ye Boys from Maine: The 20th Maine and the Gettysburg Campaign. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009. 272 pp. $16.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-19-538231-0. Reviewed by Jason Stacy (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) Published on H-CivWar (May, 2010) Commissioned by Martin Johnson On and Over Little Roundtop Adelbert Ames, son-in-law of Union general Benjamin Butler, Reconstruction governor of Mississippi, target of the James Gang’s final (and failed) heist on the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota where he was believed to hold financial interests, had little good to say about the 20th Maine in the months before the Battle of Gettysburg, calling it a “hell of a regiment,” which he meant in distinctly negative terms (p. 122). The men of the 20th returned these feelings; one swore, “the men will shoot him the first battle we are in” (p. 4). Luckily for both, Ames’s promotion allowed Joshua Chamberlain, a professor from Bowdoin whose education in tactics proved mostly theoretical until July 1863, to take over as lieutenant colonel of the regiment. Nonetheless, after the fight at Gettysburg, where the 20th defended the Army of the Potomac’s left flank and, arguably, saved the battle that proved the turning point of the war, Ames called his former charges in the 20th “a regiment which knows no superior;” in return, one soldier, speaking for all, called Ames the commander who “made ..

    I give permission for public access to my thesis and for copying to be done at the discretion of the archives’ librarian and/or the College library. Kathryn Lee Plass May 16, 2008 Signature Date Something Abides: General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the Memory of the American Civil War by Kathryn L. Plass An Undergraduate Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Mount Holyoke College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors History Department May 1, 2008 South Hadley, Massachusetts In great deeds, something abides. On great fields, something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls. - Joshua L. Chamberlain, Address at the Dedication of the Maine Monuments, Gettysburg, PA, 1895 Acknowledgements First, thanks are due to Professor Joe Ellis, who took on this project, outside his expertise, even while on sabbatical. His encouragement and insightful criticism have pushed me to find my voice. My roommate Kathryn Kinzel has put up with me through the entire process. I am forever indebted to her willingness to be my writing buddy, read my very early drafts, drive me to Maine, and keep me sane.

  • Alphabetical Bios
    The following individuals are featured in Maine Voices from the Civil War and To the Highest Standard: Maine’s Civil War Flags at the Maine State Museum. They may have owned or used objects, written letters or diaries, or are mentioned by name. MSM volunteers Bob Bennett [RB] and Dave Fuller [DF] researched most of the individuals. Jane Radcliffe [JR] and Laurie LaBar [LL] added information for a few more. MSM numbers refer to the accession number of the artifact in the Maine State Museum collection. A few objects from other collections are included as well. Regimental names have been abbreviated for convenience. Thus, the 3rd Regiment Maine Infantry Volunteers is referred to as the 3rd Maine. If no branch of the service is mentioned, the regiment is infantry. Cavalry and artillery regiments are referred to as such. Austin, Nathaniel Artifact: letter to “cousin Moses,” MSM 68.9 Nathaniel Austin was born December 27, 1803 in Nobleboro, Maine, the youngest of four children of John Austin and Hannah Hall Austin. After Hannah’s 1809 death, John married her sister, Deborah, and they had seven children. One of them was named Moses, which would have made him Nathaniel’s half-brother, not cousin. No other Moses Austin has been found. Nathaniel was also married twice. His first wife was Mary Ann Cotter, and they had six children. Nathaniel’s second wife was Nancy B. Cotter (believed to be Mary Ann’s sister), and they had five children. The Austin and Hall families were sailors, merchants and ship builders in the Mid-Coast area of Maine (Nobleboro, Damariscotta, Newcastle, and Wiscasset).

All rights reserved. Printed by Quality Copy, Inc. Hallowell, Maine Jesse Lord, Graphic Artist Published by Mackintosh Associates William Hopkins Tozier Will H. Tozier Youth Homestead Andrew J. Tozier: Gettysburg Hero Introduction The motivation for writing this booklet emerged when William (Will) Hopkins Tozier (Will H. Tozier, herein), Wayne Barter and Donald W. Beattie developed the theme of “Tozier’s Tidbits,” which was hoped to be a scheduled feature in the Kennebec Historical Society’s periodic news­ letter. It was Beattie’s idea — an example among others — to encourage and feature, therein, society members and their families’ stories — those about relatives in the Civil War.
