Eyewitness account of the end of the Civil War. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (born Lawrence Joshua Chamberlain, September 8, 1828 – February 24, 1914) was an American college professor, who volunteered during the American Civil War to join the Union Army. He became a highly decorated Union officer, reaching the rank of brigadier general (and brevet major general). He is known for his gallantry at the Battle of Gettysburg, for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor. Chamberlain was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment in 1862 and fought at the Battle of Fredericksburg. He became commander of the regiment in June 1863. On July 2, during the Battle of Gettysburg, Chamberlain's regiment occupied the extreme left of the Union lines at Little Round Top. Chamberlain's men withstood repeated assaults from the 15th Regiment Alabama Infantry and finally drove the Confederates away with a bayonet charge. Chamberlain was wounded while commanding a brigade during the Second Battle of Petersburg in June 1864, and was given a promotion to brigadier general. In April 1865, he fought at the Battle of Five Forks and was given the honor of commanding the Union troops at the surrender ceremony for the infantry of Robert E. Lee's Army at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. After the war, he served four terms of office as the 32nd Governor of Maine. He served as president, of Bowdoin College. More

In 1986, he left the organization and refocused his efforts on writing. In addition to his background in writing nonfiction and biographies, Chernow continues to contribute articles to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He has written bestselling historical non-fiction biographies. He won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the 2011 American History Book Prize for his 2010 book Washington: A Life.

Chernow agreed to write a comprehensive biography on Ulysses S. Grant. Chernow explained his transition from writing about Washington to Grant: "Makes some sense as progression. Towering general of Revolution to towering general of Civil War. Both two-term presidents, though with very different results." More

Biddle; Carlisle Old and New, and Afterword. Also contains notes added at the end of the book. The Club wished to preserve its pictured story, but learning that only the Introduction to the lecture had been committed to writing, and that the remarks about the pictures had been drawn on the instant by the speaker from his richly stored memory of the town's life, the Club decided to use at first within their book his introduction, and then to write the story for themselves. And so the story is offered, with the pictures and the lecture's introduction, to all who know her, in loving memory of old Carlisle. In June 1898, Gertrude Bosler Biddle gathered 32 women together for the first meeting of what would become the Carlisle Civic Club. 120 years later, nearly the same number of women gathered at the Carlisle Country Club to celebrate the club’s legacy and mark its end. With a dwindling and aging membership as well as a lack of interest in leadership positions, the Civic Club looked at options to disband, modify the club or to stay the same, said Dorrie Blacksmith, president of the Civic Club. “We realized that we couldn’t stay the same. We could modify, but still someone had to be in charge to organize if you’re going to meet three or four times a year,” she said. And so, the decision was made to disband. The last official club event was a reception following a June 15 naturalization ceremony at the Old Courthouse. More
