Little Round Top. It was at this point that the Robinson's 4th Alabama and the 5th Texas (as well as the 47th and 15th Alabama under Law) slammed into Joshaua Chamberlain's 20th Maine as the Rebels tried to attack uphill and turn the 20th's left flank.

Chamberlain would recieve the Medal of Honor for his work here... olne of 63 for the three days.

There was great courage by both Blue and Gray, but historians still debate the strategic importance of the hill and its usefullness to the Union Army.
