About This Item
Kearny, NJ: Belle Grove Publishing Company, 1996. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. Good. [10], 159, [3] pages. Frontis illustration. Maps. Notes. Biographies of Civil War Generals. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Sticker residue on back cover. Sis Deans is a winner of the Maine Chapbook Award and a Lupine Honor Award recipient. A comprehensive biography of Maine Civil War General Joshua L. Chamberlain, His Proper Post provides a detailed view of Chamberlain's personal and professional life. Deans draws upon her own experiences, and introduces each chapter with stories from her research process. Originally a farm boy from Brewer, Chamberlain fought courageously through the Civil War, and later became Governor of Maine and President of Bowdoin College. Deans also explores Chamberlain's relationships with his wife, Fanny, and their two children. This biography contains several photos-many of which had never before been published before. One would think that Maine's greatest Civil War hero would have a large monument to mark his grave-a stone that would stand out among the others, one that would note his military honors, his four terms as governor of Maine, and his presidency of Bowdoin College. But the pinkish colored stone that marks his grave is small and simple. Only his name and the years of his birth and death are etched into the Maine granite. It was his wish to have nothing more.
