Oh good grief, get a grip. Lawrence, as he was called by his family, was probably one of your more decent yankees. His great great grandson is a dear friend of this Southern Belle. My grandson, Joshua, was also born on the same day as Joshua Chamberlain's birthday. All mere coincidence I'm sure. Nonetheless, some of Chamberlain's descendants are living in the South and being raised as Southerners.
