On this day in 1828 Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, future hero of Gettysburg, was born.
Chamberlain's name will always be associated with Little Round Top. Hundreds of thousands of visitors travel to the hill each year to follow in his footsteps and visit the small rocky spur where he led the 20th Maine on the afternoon of July 2nd. Many search in vain for a statue to Chamberlain, only to walk away disappointed. Yet, a bronze likeness of Chamberlain almost ended up on the hill. The Chamberlain Statue is perhaps the most famous (but certainly not the only) monument that *almost* ended up at Gettysburg.
