Major General Adelbert Ames: Forgotten Man of the 20th Maine
"Ames wanted even higher rank, however, and realized he would have to switch to the infantry branch to get it. On August 20, 1862, he was given command of the 20th Maine and the rank of colonel. Colonel Ames commanded that unit until May 1863, when he became a member of Maj. Gen. George Meade's staff. He soon became a brigadier general, commanding a brigade in the XI Corps, leaving Lt. Col. Joshua Chamberlain to gain glory as the 20th's commander at Gettysburg. Ames and his brigade, meanwhile, fought on Barlow's Knoll and Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg."
