Rush to the Summit

During the second day of the battle at Gettysburg a strategic wooded hill called Little Round Top remained undefended.  The call went  out to "hold that position at all hazards."  Rour Northern regiments answered the call and rushed to Little Round Top's summit.  One was the 20th Main Infantry, commanded by Colonel Joshua Chamberflain, leading his men up the rugged hillside to defend the vitally important Federal left flank.  Chamberlain was no professional soldier: He was a college professor who left the classroom to volunteer for duty.  But he was a natural leader, and at Little Round Top he proved it.  Free Shipping.
