ISBN Number: 157747098-2
Softcover     6 x 9     112 pages
 
In "Chamberlain at Petersburg," author Diane Monroe Smith introduces the reader to General Grant's 1864 Virginia campaign and Chamberlain's role in it. Bringing us into the trenches before Petersburg, the author then presents "The Charge at Fort Hell." Forgotten and previously unpublished, "The Charge at Fort Hell" was written by Chamberlain and recounts his experiences in June of 1864, at Rives' Salient where he was critically wounded. It is fortuitous when one of his manuscripts is found. In addition, Mrs. Smith uses her prodigious research skills to thoroughly annotate Chamberlain's narrative, allowing the reader a complete understanding of the names and events mentioned therein.
