	Re: Motel on Little Round Top
		Between the LRT Museum and the Taneytown Road, in the immediate vicinity of the two remaining oak trees, stood the Rosensteel "homestead" occupied by Frances, Emory, and Bernard, during various periods of time.
		Across the roadway, and extending for some distance along the area between the Taneytown Road and the back slopes LRT and BRT, was "The Round Top Park" (maps of 1890-95 show the location).
		The Round Top Park was created by Frances Rosensteel and was the site of the famous ox roast of 1884 (I have 3 photos of this event).

	Reviews of Books about Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
		The Chapter that pertains to the 20th Maine's heroic stand on Little Round Top is "Little Round Top and the Peach Orchard." Coddington describes the "valor of the 20th Maine" and how it "stopped the Confederate advance." His section on the 20th Maine's defense in particular is great.
		And Chamberlain, whether leading the 20th Maine in the defense of Little Round Top, dreaming longingly of his wife, or pondering the morality of sending his brother to a dangerous position, is an irresistible hero.
		The buildup to the battle of Little Round Top is handled very well: lots of suspense, as the 20th Maine and the 15th Alabama (and both Northern and Southern armies) march towards the inevitable clash.

	The 20th Maine at Little Round Top
		The Confederate force designated to take possession of Little Round Top appears to have been Robertson's brigade, consisting of the 1st, 4th, and 5th Texas and the 3d Arkansas; and Law's brigade, consisting of the 4th, 44th, 48th, 47th, and 15th Alabama, both of Hood's division.

		But just here these two Alabama regiments met the 20th Maine, which was the left regiment of Vineent's brigade, and also the left of the whole Army of the Potomae, and, to conform to the erest of the hill, was bent baek at about right angles with the line of the rest of the brigade.
