The Brigadier was someone else (Jenkins??),
Chamberlain was a mere Regimental Commander.

Why?  The old Confederate Regiments were ressurected
as National Guard units in the South--my old unit in
the Virginia Guard traced it's lineage back to the
Warrenton Rifles, who's commander was the first
soldier killed by enemy action during the War of
Northern Agression--shot dead on the steps of the
Fairfax County Courthouse as he hauled down the US
flag.
