GDG- Units history and what has caught my attention.

[James Cameron]

<< I wish a Mainer would step forward and speak with puffed out chest about
the 4th, 16th, 17th & 20th Maine infantry regiments. The state as a
whole provided 3,752 soldiers to the battle (Busey & Martin, pg 355),
and gave 1,027 (27.4% - pgs 490, 491). But that doesn't begin to tell
the story of the impact that those four regiments had -  >>


Don't forget the 3rd Maine, which fought with USSS in Pitzer's Woods, and 
later resisted Hood's advance on the Union skirmish line covering Birney's 
division.  Or one of my favorites, the 19th Maine, which held a very 
isolated position out in front of Cemetery Ridge later that day.
