The 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry regiment was mustered into service under the command of Colonel Adelbert Ames. They fought in many historic battles, including Gettysburg, where they played a key role in holding their position and eventually charging on Litte Round Top under the command of the well known Colonel Joshua Chamberlain. They disbanded shortly after the war had ended. They had over 1,000 men, with 147 KIA, 146 dead from disease, and 300+ wounded. They have a monument that still stands at Gettysburg to this day.
