I just started reading Joshua Chamberlain's "The Passing of the Armies". Read it about 3 years ago and decided since it was snowing like gangbusters today, it was a good time to revisit the work. Chamberlain writes in old English style much like James Fenmore Cooper and it is not something you can read in three hours.

He won the Medal of Honor for his actions at Little Round Top and served 4 terms as governor of Mass. and 12 years as President of Bowdion College. Quite the life.
