Famous Maine commander Joshua Chamberlain, who won a Medal of Honor for his actions at Gettysburg, died at age 85.
He had gone on to serve as the Governor of Maine.
While famous for his role in the Civil War, he had started off his adult life with the intent of becoming a Congregationalist minister, which was his mother's desire. His father had hoped for a military career for him. Marrying in 1855, he took up a career as a teacher before the Civil War. He of course served notably in the Civil War. After the war he served four one year terms as Governor of Maine (what a horrific though to have to run a campaign every year), resumed teaching at the university level, practiced law, and engaged in various business activities.
