Description
English: Looking toward the Confederate lines from LIttle Round Top, at the left (south) end of the Union lines in the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War.

The Confederate army made a major attempt to take Little Round Top on the second day of the battle, July 2, 1863. The main factor in the Union defense was the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel (later Brigadier General and temporary Major General) Joshua Chamberlain. When their ammunition was almost exhausted, the made a downhill bayonet charge and routed the Confederates. This event was featured in the movie "Gettysburg."

Joshua Chamberlain (1828-1914) was Governor of Maine and President of Bowdoin College in Maine after the Civil War. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his part in the battle, in 1893.
