BRUNSWICK — Maine Civil War historian Brian F. Swartz will chronicle Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain’s swift transition from college professor and family man to regimental and brigade commander at the January meeting of the Joshua Chamberlain Civil War Roundtable.
The meeting, which is free and open to the public, as at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 13, in the Morrell Room, Curtis Public Library, 23 Pleasant St.
