My visit to Brunswick including stops at Bowdoin College, the Chamberlain House & Museum and Pine Grove Cemetery where the Chamberlains rest today. We'll see the bullet that nearly killed him, the boots he wore at Gettysburg, his Medal of Honor, and more!

He lived a pretty full life despite the consiquences of his wounds. I can't imagine going through something like that for nearly 50 years.

I grew up in Brunswick. My first job was at the Hannaford down the street from Chamberlain's house. I did a book report on him in junior high and he is very highly respected in the town. He was such an admirable and brave man.

For me as a german, it's really interesting that Chamberlain asked King Wilhelm of Prussia in 1870 for permission to join the prussian army in the fight against Imperial France. (www.lurker00.com/joshua1/jlcgov2.htm) Can you confirm that and do you have further information? Best wishes from Pomerania.
