The day will start with an author talk at the CVBT office and then we'll car caravan to downtown Fredericksburg for a tour of the route that the 20th Maine took through town to just short of the Stone Wall.

Each registered guest will receive a copy of A Hell of a Regiment: To Gettysburg and Beyond with the Twentieth Maine included with their ticket admission on November 1st.

Join us first at the CVBT office as Jared Peatman, author of the recently-released A Hell of a Regiment: To Gettysburg and Beyond with the Twentieth Maine, reveals the dynamics of the Twentieth Maine on the eve of the Battle of Fredericksburg, the impact of the great battle on the unit, and then the controversies that arose with Joshua Chamberlain’s January 1913 account “My Story of Fredericksburg.” Then, we’ll pick up with the tour portion of the program and follow in the footsteps of the Twentieth Maine from December 13-16, 1862, as they attacked Marye’s Heights on December 13-14 before acting as part of the army’s rearguard on December 15-16.
