SUMMARY:Joshua L. Chamberlain: Scholar-Warrior Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:This limited time exhibit explores the life of the Civil War General and former Governor of Maine from birth to his death at age eighty-five. Artifacts\, artwork and documents tell Chamberlain’s story of his formative years through his rise into today’s pop culture. \nThe exhibit opening date of June 18 coincides with the severe wounding of Chamberlain during the Second Battle of Petersburg in 1864. This wound would be the cause of his death fifty years later in 1914 making him the last Civil War veteran to die of his wounds. \nJoshua L. Chamberlain was born in Brewer\, Maine as the oldest of five children. His parents wanted him to become a clergyman or join the military. Chamberlain instead sought academic pursuits and attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick\, Maine where he studied Ancient Greek and Latin\, graduating in 1852. Three years later he returned to Bowdoin as a professor of rhetoric and soon made use of his fluency in nine languages by being appointed Professor of Modern Languages in 1861. \nChamberlain left his teaching pursuits after the Civil War began and was appointed lieutenant colonel the famous 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment. His younger brother Thomas Chamberlain would also serve as an officer in the same regiment. Joshua Chamberlain’s actions at Gettysburg would later result in being awarded the Medal of Honor. There he saved the Union left flank at Little Round Top with a bayonet charge made famous by the book Killer Angels and the 1993 movie Gettysburg where he is portrayed by actor Jeff Daniels. This would also be the cause of Chamberlain rising into the nationally known pop culture of today. \nHe received two minor wounds at Gettysburg prior to his severe wounding at the Second Battle of Petersburg on June 18\, 1864 which led Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant to promote Chamberlain to brigadier general. Once recovered\, he returned to duty in the spring of 1865 for the Battle of Lewis’s Farm where Chamberlain was nearly captured and wounded again. He survived and went on to preside over the parade of the Confederate forces at Appomattox Court House on April 12\, 1865. \nChamberlain’s post-war life saw him return to Maine on a tide of popularity and serving four one-year terms as Governor. He also returned to Bowdoin College now as it’s president until retiring from ill health. There were additional pursuits in law and business but\, his old wound from Petersburg plagued him for the remainder of his life. Six surgeries failed to ease his condition and Chamberlain died in Portland\, Maine in 1914. One of the same two surgeons who fifty years earlier\, had tended to his wounds at Petersburg was by his side. \nThe special exhibit runs through November 29\, 2020 and is included with regular daily admission during normal operating hours.

SUMMARY:Petersburg Civil War Round Table at Pamplin
DESCRIPTION:Join speaker Ray Brown\, Chief of Interpretation and Cultural Resources Management at Manassas National Battlefield Park\, as he presents his presentation on “Soldier Remains at Manassas and Battlefield Archaeology.” \nThe Battle of Second Manassas was fought on August 28-30\, 1862. This fierce contest between Confederate and Union forces resulted in approximately 22\,000 casualties out of a total of around 112\,000 men engaged in the fight. Two of the mortally wounded Union soldiers were taken to a field hospital where they succumbed to their wounds. Afterwards\, they were placed in a shallow burials pit along with amputated limbs from other soldiers injured in the battle. They would lay undisturbed until 2014 when the National Park Service discovered the pit during a utility project. A journey of exploration then began leading the NPS to partner with the Smithsonian Institution and eventually lead them to Arlington National Cemetery. \nSpeaker Ray Brown is the Chief of Interpretation and Cultural Resources Management at Manassas National Battlefield Park. Brown has an over 32 year career with the National Park Service which has included working at Fredericksburg\, Philadelphia\, Petersburg and for the past 28 years at Manassas. Author and historian Don Johnson has this to say of Brown\, “Ray has a true understanding of the mission of the National Park Service as exhibited through his deep commitment to the preservation of our nation’s Battlefields. Ray is devoted to providing the public with accurate history and compelling interpretation of the gripping events that occurred on those grounds.” \nThe Petersburg Civil War Roundtable (PCWRT) will meet the first Thursday of each month at Pamplin Historical Park and the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier from 7:00 pm-8:00 pm. Annual membership is $40.00. Individuals who are already members of Pamplin Historical Park can become members of PCWRT for $20.00. Non-members can attend for $5.00 each meeting.

SUMMARY:Voices from the Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Costumed guides portraying “agents of death” will lead participants by candlelight on a spine-chilling tour through the historic park and Breakthrough Battlefield.
