Joshua Chamberlain's Medal of Honor Returned-- Part 1

From the January 2013 Brunswick (Maine) Times Record "Chamberlain's medal to be returned to Brunswick" by J.T. Leonard.

The original Medal of Honor awarded to Maine's Colonel Joshua Chamberlain was discovered in the back of a book in Duxbury, Massachusetts. (Safe-keeping?)

In July, shortly after Brunswick's annual Chamberlain Days celebration, the Pejopscal Historical Society received a package from a donor who wished to remain anonymous.

Historical Society director Jennifer Blanchard was skeptical, however. She knew that Chamberlain's Medal of Honor was redesigned in 1904, and he was reissued one n 1907.

More to Come. --Old Secesh
