GDG- Chamberlain's charge: what really happened?!?

[Laurence D. Schiller]

Hello:

	There is no doubt that the 20th Maine charged. However, 
precisely how it happened is open to more consideration. However, the 
best thing I have read on this is Tom Desjardin's 'Stand Firm ye boys 
of Maine' where he examines all of the evidence and comes up with a 
very convincing description of how the charge all unfolded. But there 
is absolutely no doubt that the charge happened.

Best,

laurie schiller
