It is said in biographies on Chamberlain, that he helped organize reunions at Gettysburg.

Unfortunately due to his failing health he was unable to attend the 50th anniversary in 1913. Dan Sickles unfortunately was the star of that gathering.

Hey - give Dan Sickles a little credit. His goofy move forward during the battle has been criticized but also credited for greatly expanding the line and the Confederates were stretched too thin.
