The Joshua L. Chamberlain Highway Marker Fund is being created to
raise funds for an approved cast-aluminum highway marker to be
purchased and installed at the location where in the following
passage, events of June 18, 1864 took place and the near fatal bullet
wound Chamberlain received he endured for the next 50 years of his
incredible life.
"Joshua L. Chamberlain—Promoted “on the spot”
In this
vicinity on 18 June 1864 Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain received a
near-fatal wound while leading a Union brigade in a charge against
Confederate works defending Petersburg. Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
promoted him to Brig. Gen. of Vols. “on the spot” for “gallant
conduct.” Chamberlain returned to duty in November and was wounded
again in March 1865. On 12 April at Appomattox he commanded the
ceremony at which the Army of Northern Virginia formally surrendered
its arms. He was governor of Maine from 1867 to 1871 and received the
Medal of Honor in 1893."
Cost for the marker is $1,630.00. It has been approved by the
Virginia State Board of Historic Resources.
