Book Synopsis Pages from Spear's Recollections of the Civil War, with Comments by Joshua Chamberlain by : Ellis Spear
Book excerpt: Three pages from General Ellis Spear's recollections of the Civil War. A newly commissioned major, Spear took command of the 20th Maine from then Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, who had been assigned to command of the Brigade. In November 1863, the 20th Maine took part in the Second Battle of Rappahannock Station, and saw action at Mine's Run. In 1864, the 20th Maine participated in actions leading up to the beginning of the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 8, 1864. General Chamberlain made some handwritten corrections to Spear's narrative.
