"In great deeds, something abides...bodies disappear; but spirits linger..." It's a portion of a quote from the great American Civil War Gen. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a hero and Medal of Honor recipient of the Union Army particularly known for acts of valor at the Battle of Gettysburg. The quote has always had a way of speaking to me, much the same way that hundreds of long-dead Northwest Indiana Civil War veterans spoke to me beginning about 15 years ago.
