Items related to Joshua Chamberlain: A Hero's Life and Legacy
During the past two decades Joshua Chamberlain has emerged as a modern icon, featured in the novel The Killer Angels, the film Gettysburg, and Ken Burns's series The Civil War. Numerous biographers dissect his Civil War career, living history interpreters speak on his behalf, and even a beer bears his likeness and name. Renowned historian John J. Pullen, who first introduced Joshua Chamberlain to modern readers, is again approaching the subject of this complex man. This new biographical essay explores Chamberlain's later life through the lens of his experiences during the Civil War and examines his place in history--both man and myth.

Product Description:
Joshua Chamberlain was much more than a war hero. His lifelong effort to fashion a heroic image of himself has prevailed. This book examines Chamberlain's post-war life.
Synopsis:
Joshua Chamberlain was much more than a war hero, and this book completes the picture of his remarkable life. It is an entertaining and inspiring story. Recently, Joshua Chamberlain has emerged in the popular mind as the archetypal Union military hero, based largely on the actions of his regiment, the 20th Maine, at Gettysburg. His image now appears on T-shirts, and he has been immortalised in film and in prose. In short, his lifelong effort to fashion a heroic image of himself has prevailed. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Pullen's brief examination of Chamberlain's post-war life.
