The **DETERMINATION** of the 15th Alabama and the 20th Maine

//** What does DETERMINATION mean to you? **//

//** This is a story of DETERMINATION... **//

"My dead and wounded were nearly as great in number as those still on duty. They literally covered the ground. The blood stood in puddles in some places on the rocks; the ground was soaked with the blood of as many brave men as ever fell on the red field of battle." --Col. William C. Oates, 15th Alabama [|Col. Oates and the 15th Alabama at Gettysburg] "In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear, but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls.....generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field to ponder and dream; And lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls." --Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, 20th Maine [|Col. Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Gettysburg]

The **COURAGE** of the 9th Massachusetts Battery

//** What does COURAGE mean to you? **//

//**This is a story of COURAGE...**//

"During the din of battle my feelings were curious and various but the one idea I entertained could not be shaken off until the fight had ceased for the day. it appeared to be a grand terrible dramma we were enacting and the idea of being hit or killed never occured to me, but when I saw the dead, wounded, and mutilated pouring our their lifes blood...then the terrible sense of reality came upon me in full force. the novelty had vanished. I could only turn my thoughts to him who sees and controls all, with silent thanks giveings and weep for the many, many dead and maimed."--Artilleryman Charles Reed, 9th Massachusetts Battery (letter written home after Battle of Gettysburg) [|Story of the 9th Massachusetts Battery]
