Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine. Home of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, one of the finest patriots in American history, hero of Little Round Top, July 2, 1863 and a former governor of Maine. A first class human being all the way.
I wholeheartedly agree. Arguably the best general during the turbulent 1860s.
Damn! You beat me to it! I was gonna mention Col. Joshua "The Fightin' Professor" Chamberlain coming out of Bowdoin. Funny that the trustees wouldn't give him a leave of absence to enlist, so he asked for a year off to study in Europe and they approved, of course.
