	An Historian's View of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
		Chamberlain has become something of a Civil War "cult figure" as a result -- hailed as the hero of Little Round Top -- and established as one of the most popular and revered personalities of our nation's bloodiest conflict.
		That so many have been drawn to admire Chamberlain through novel and film is not necessarily a bad thing, though this very exaltation has spawned a reaction from some whose inherent cynicism drives them to scorn Chamberlain and attempt to diminish his deeds.
		One who heard Chamberlain lecture reported, "His words are suffused with a certain poetical idealism, and in religious conceptions with a spirituality almost mystical".
