Joshua Chamberlain, Colonel of the Union Army. This highly detailed 12 inch action figure includes uniform and accessories. From "Brotherhood of Arms," the innovative military 12inch action figure series featuring soldiers from the American Civil War. (Subject to change.)

Best remembered for two great events: the action at Little Round Top, on the second day of Gettysburg (2 July 1863), when then-Colonel Chamberlain and the 20th Maine held the extreme left flank of the Union line against a fierce rebel attack, and the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox, when Grant chose Chamberlain to receive the formal surrender of weapons and colors (12 April 1865). Always a chivalrous man, Chamberlain had his men salute the defeated Confederates as they marched by, evidence of his admiration of their valor and of Grant's wish to encourage the rebel armies still in the field to accept the peace.
