From the Desk of Cpt. Davis:

Thank you for stopping by under my tent fly, I look forward to fighting with you gentlemen to try and preserve the union and these United States of America, under one god this nation will be torn apart, brother fighting brother, father fighting sons all in the name of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. When the smoke settles mothers will have lost sons, husbands, and brothers, but hopefully the ol Glory will still stand tall and we will rally around her. We must carry out this nations deeds. Gentlemen, I will see you soon.

History!

The 20th Maine was formed under
Army of the Potomac
V Corp
1st Division
3rd Brigade
20th Maine Infantry
Co. C

The 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment was a volunteer regiment of the United States Army during the American Civil Wa, most famous for its defense of Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 1-3, 1863. The 133rd Engineer Battalion of the Maine Army National Guard and the United States Army today carries on the lineage and traditions of the 20th Maine

The 20th Maine was organized in the state of Maine and mustered into Federal service on August 29, 1862, with Col. Adelbert Ames as its commander. It was assigned to the Army of the Potomac in the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, V Corps, where it would remain until mustered out on July 16, 1865. At that time, the brigade also consisted of the 16th Michigan, the 12th, 17th, and 44th New York, 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry regiments, and a Michigan company of sharpshooters.

Prior to their notable actions at Gettysburg in July 1863, the regiment was held in reserve at Antietam in September 1862, was among those forced to remain overnight within sight of the Confederate lines at Fredericksburg in December 1862, forcing the regiment's Lt. Col. Joshua Chamberlain to shield himself with a dead man. The unit was unable to participate in the Battle of Chancellorsville in April-May 1863, due to a quarantine prompted by a tainted smallpox vaccine that had been issued to the unit's soldiers.On May 20, 1863, Colonel Ames was promoted and was succeeded as colonel and commander of the regiment by Lt. Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain, who had been offered and declined leadership of the unit at the time it was formed
