Before Gettysburg was done,
One of Maine's favorite sons,
By and large,
led a bayonet charge,
When he was done,
The field had been won,
Much to the rebel's woe,
Chamberlain's men had no ammo,
Such a brave move,
Today is taught to our troops,
For his confident leadership,
Joshua Chamberlain was given a generalship.

Author Notes
Since I'm not really a poet and free verse isn't really my thing, I made it rhyme. Plus my meters are way off.
I have long admired the courage it took for Chamberlain to order the bayonet charge with no ammo.
Enjoy, be kind.
