I know that book, I never actually read it...

Who here has been to the little Round Top? I went about 10 years ago I was amazed of how steep it was. I had a hard time climbing it, and that was without people shooting at me.

I went to Gettysburg a couple years ago and made it a point to go up to Little Round Top.

"As for myself, so far I had escaped. How close an escape I did not know till afterwards. I think I may mention it here, as a psychological incident, that some years after the war, I received a letter written in a homely but manly style by one subscribing himself 'a member if the 15th Alabama,' in these words:

Letter

I thought he was that and answered him accordingly,asking him to come up North and see whhether I was worth what he had missed. But my answer never found him, nor could I afterwards."

Better late than never

I have Chamberlain's memoirs on the War, I will have the highlights of those up in a week or so
