Brigadier General Joshua Chamberlain
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (1828-1914) is best known for leading the 20th Maine Infantry Regiment in defending Little Round Top on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg. After repulsing multiple Confederate assaults, suffering heavy casualties and running low on ammunition, he ordered a bayonet charge that disorganized the attacking Confederates and secured the Union's left flank. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Colonel Elmer Ellsworth
During the beginning of the American Civil War, Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth (1837-1861) raised and commanded the 11th New York Infantry Regiment; many in the regiment were firemen who volunteered from New York City's firefighting companies. On May 24, 1861, while taking down a Confederate flag from an inn named the Marshall House in Alexandra, Virginia, he was shot and killed by the inn's proprietor James William Jackson. Private Francis Edwin Brownell, of Ellsworth's regiment, shot and bayonetted Jackson, killing him. Ellsworth is the first officer in the Union army to die in the Civil War.

KANSAS RAIDERS (Dir: Ray Enright, 1950).
A lively western adventure, set against the backdrop of the American Civil War.
This star vehicle for Universal contract player Audie Murphy, is a highly fictionalised account of the early career of the outlaw Jesse James. Here such historical figures as young Jesse (Audie Murphy) and his brother Frank (Richard Long) team up with Kit Dalton (Tony Curtis) and the Younger brothers under the tutelage of Confederate guerrilla Colonel William Quantrill (Brian Donlevy), in a kinda outlaw equivalent of Avenger Assemble (Josh Whedon, 2012).
