You can find the original article and many more at HistoryNet.com. As he read the name of the prisoner at Concerned, his mind no doubt wandered to a moment from seven years earlier and 500 miles away during the Battle of Gettysburg, that hellish firefight had made his reputation, eventually propelling him to a general ship and later the very gubernatorial seat he now occupied. One image continually returned to Chamberlain's mind. Through the mist of the battle could be seen our colors planted in the ground and held firmly by our sergeant with musket in his hands. That color sergeant was Andrew Jackson-Tozier of Plymouth, the man and place well named. Now that bold and brave flag bearer was imprisoned. What would Governor Chamberlain do? Born February 11, 1838, Andrew Jackson-Tozier was the fifth of seven children of John and Teresa Tozier of Monmouth, Maine. The Tozier's financial situation was precarious with just $200 property to their name in 1850. Ten years later, they were designated poppers. Older brother Augustus was a sailor and in 1851, young Andrew followed the same path. Half a century later, Andrew's wife explained, he went to see at the age of 13 years and followed the life of a sailor continuously for a decade, except short visits to his parents until he enlisted. Embracing maritime culture, Tozier acquired two tattoos later described as female on right arm and five pointed star in first base of right hand. The second tattoo was likely a nautical star symbolically intended to guide sailors back home. When the Civil War began, Andrew returned home and enlisted in the second Maine on July 15, 1861, about six weeks after the unit's formal mustering in. Not surprising, given his worldly experience, height of six feet and tattoos, Tozier stood out. And despite being a later addition to the unit, he was promoted to corporal in early 1861. June 1862 was a watershed month in Tozier's life, as he suffered the trifecta of disease, battle wound, and capture. The second Maine spent much of June building roads and bridges in the swampy eastern approaches to Richmond. It was back breaking work with severe consequences. William Jones, a member of the second, remembered Tozier, did become disabled by having contracted disease of heart, brought on by heavy lifting and building bridges and corduroy roads, and exposure to miasma in the Chica hominis swamp. Remembered William Foss of the second Maine. Being in the mud and water and hard work, he was taken with heart trouble. He did not go away to the hospital, but stayed with the co. He had fainting spells and would have to be helped to the doctor's tent. He stayed with the co until the battle of Gaines' mill. On June 25, 1862, General Robert E. Lee launched his Virginia offensive known as the Seven Days Campaign. At Gaines' mill, on June 27, he sent 58,000 men against the Union lines. Tozier described the day in his pension file. After fighting from 10 o'clock till after 5 in the afternoon, on June 27, 1862, at the Battle of Gaines' mill, I was wounded through the left hand and just after was shot on the inside of my left ankle and was taken prisoner. The ball did not go through, but lodged and was taken out by a southern doctor the next day. His mobility limited by the lower leg wound, Tozier was one of 50 men from his unit, captured that day. The hand wound was more severe, however, his middle finger requiring amputation at the first joint and those on either side badly damaged. In later years, Tozier's left arm would measure 3\/4 of an While on Bel-Ail, Tozier came across his first cousin, Winfield Norcross of the 7th Maine, who had been wounded at Savage Station on June 29. Despite suffering from chills, fainting spells, and heart problems, Tozier dressed Norcross's wounds and brought him water. Fortunately, Tozier was exchanged on August 28th, 3 and was sent to a hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania, to recover, remaining there until late October. Tozier was promoted to sergeant in late 1862 and then to first sergeant on January 1, 1863. The 2nd Maine had been mustered into state service on May 2, 1861, having signed two-year enlistment contracts as directed by the governor. The regular army officer who accepted them for federal service on May 28, 2021, insisted the men re-sign three-year contracts, though only about 20% did so. Later recruits who joined the unit after May 1861, like Andrew Tozier, signed three-year enlistment papers, but many were promised they would be allowed to go home when the 2nd Maine was mustered out in May 1863 at the end of its two years of service. As spring approached, the men who had signed three-year contracts were anxious about how their situation would play out. The Union army decided that any original members mustered into federal service on May 28, 1861, regardless of what enlistment period document they had signed, would be allowed to go home. The 120 men who had enlisted after that date, however, would be held to the full three years. In Andrew Tozier's case, enlisting six weeks later meant he owed an extra year of service. He and the other men required to stay were sent to the 20th Maine to fulfill their obligation. When the men in that lot were told of their situation on May 23, many mutinied and refused to go peacefully, necessitating their transfer at bayonet point three days later. 40 men continued to protest even after transferring to the 20th Maine, but the rest, Tozier included, fell into line, and appeared at drill on May 27. Tozier immediately caught the eye of the 20th's relatively new colonel. Joshua Chamberlain, who had taken command of the regiment on May 20. Chamberlain was impressed with Tozier's behavior, plus his soldier bearing, plus personal efficiency, an example of all that was excellent as a soldier. The 20th Maine had been engaged at the December 1862 Battle of Fredericksburg, but the regiment was on guard duty in the rear during the Battle of Chancellorsville because of a smallpox outbreak. In early June, a few weeks after its Chancellorsville victory, the Army of Northern Virginia was on the march, hoping to bring the war north of the Potomac River, pursued by the 20th Maine and the Army of the Potomac. During his northward march to destiny, on a rocky hill, Chamberlain was presented with a perfect opportunity to complete the integration of the former second Maine men into their new unit. Proctors in discretion cost him his rank and the position of honor as a color bearer. Chamberlain selected Tozier as the new national flag bearer, partially in recognition of the man's record, partially due to his belief that Tozier would perform the duty well and partially a continuation of his efforts to fully integrate the second Maine men into their new unit. No matter the motivation, it was an inspired decision, and then came Gettysburg, glory at Gettysburg. On July The 20th Maine was placed on the extreme left of Colonel Strong Vincent's Third Brigade, which also included the 16th Michigan, 44th New York, and 83rd Pennsylvania. The brigade occupied a position in the saddle between little and big round top. That meant the 20th was also on the extreme left of the Army of the Potomac. The story is well known. During a 90-minute firefight, the Maine regiment repelled six attacks from the numerically superior 15th Alabama. Holding the colors aloft, Tosier was at the point of that V. A position of extreme exposure so dangerous that one of the color guard assigned to protect him, Melville Day, fell dead with five bullets in him, and another, Charles Reed, would be wounded as well. Later, Reed recounted that after he was wounded, Sartre, Tosier said, Eventually, the severity of Reed's wounds dictated that he seek aid, so Tosier took back the flag, but continued to load and fire Reed's musket simultaneously. This scene became one of the iconic images of the fight. Years later, Captain Ellis Spear wrote, The 20th Maine expended all of its cartridges. Ordering the unit to fix bayonets in charge, Chamberlain took his place next to Tosier. The surprise maneuver worked, and the Manors captured 308 prisoners from five Confederate regiments, securing their position and helping keep the critical height of little round top out of Confederate hands. Tosier had played a significant role in the unit's performance. Immediately after the Battle of Gettysburg, Chamberlain wrote, I offered him a commission for the special gallantry he showed in that battle. He modestly chose to remain color sergeant. 1863 suggests that possibility. At some point previously, he may also have learned of the death of his younger brother, Ezra, in a Confederate prison camp. Between the debacle with the extra year of service, Ezra's treatment and death, and his own deteriorating condition, Tosier may have desired to get out of the army. Before he could return home, however, Tosier would be wounded yet again. On May 26, 1864, at the North Anna River, Tosier wrecked a wound from a ball which struck the left side of head seven inches behind and above the left eye, and part of the ball escaped and part remained in the wound. This wound, along with the heart troubles, would become his biggest health concern. Tosier mustered out on July 15, 1864, receiving $100 in bounty money, plus $30.43 from his unused clothing allowance. He likely returned home via train, arriving in Maine in late July. In May 1863, the original members of the second Maine had returned home to a parade in Bangor, and in June 1865, the 20th Maine received the same treatment in Portland. But Tosier returned home without such closure and with little idea of what to do next. He had made his living through physic...

My name is Jason Robbins. I'm Jacob Craig and I know that you guys all missed me last week. How could you not? I think it was one of the best episodes ever if you want to know what I think. I think it was a really good episode. It was on Tech had been on before, so I was like, I'm not too worried about it. It was just one guest that I didn't really know that I would have been like, eh, maybe we should just, I don't know. Yeah, people listening at home probably don't know how many times like I'll book a guest or it'll be the day of the podcast and Jason's like, hey, I don't know much about this person. So you kind of need to take the lead or like you'll see some on the calendar and be like, who is that? And I'm like, oh, it's, it's one of the most successful comedians we've ever talked about. I don't want you, Jason. Let me tell you who this is. I don't know. My taste in comedy is weird. Like I don't get the comedy. Like I watch a lot of stuff on YouTube, but I don't get the comedy stuff. I guess thrown at me like you do because we're, we're, I guess we might have different tastes and comedies that we don't get. I don't get the same people suggested to me that you do. Yeah. I mean, when it comes to a lot of new comics, like I know a lot of them from watching YouTube shorts, Facebook, reels and they'll do the guest circuit on podcasts. But I mean, we've talked to some people on here that I've been watching since I was a little kid. Like we, we watched Steve Byrne. I remember watching his, I forget the name of the special, like something like America's people or some shit like that, like right when it came out on Showtime, like in like, I don't even know, like 2014, some shit like that. So it's like, you know, so, you know, some of the people we've talked to have been been around for a while. That's why I thought there'll be people that you don't know that I'm like, you seriously like never heard or heard of or seen this person? Like, what do you, you're a comedian, bro? You sure? Yeah. Like I said, we must just watch different, have different tastes and comedy because we don't, I don't get the same suggestions that you do. So I don't know. Maybe I just miss a lot of people, especially like a lot of my tastes are older too. So a lot of new American medians. I don't, I don't follow as much. Yeah. And I mean, there's a certain degree of fame too. Like I'm, I'm hard for into comedy, obviously, like I'm always consuming comedy. So like, I know who's big on the circuit right now and who might be big and I'll book people like that. Like Ariel Elias, you know, we really neither of us had very much clear who she was when we booked her and then the whole week later, she gets a high noon, thrown at her head. So I don't want HP smart to change my device, dude. In the middle of a podcast, the audacity HP smart. So one thing I wanted to talk about is you said you haven't seen it, but the new after midnight that just premiered last week, I've been excited about the show ever since they announced it. Yeah, I miss at midnight a lot, man. And I mean, I was hoping that when they rebooted this, that it was going to literally just be at midnight again, like with Chris Hardwick, like just bring that show back. But like, did they do anything different than how it was or it's basically the same thing? The only thing that's different, like they have a lot of the same stuff, you know, they do like the hashtag wars and things like that. And it's longer. The old show was 30 minutes and this one's an hour, which I think they might end up changing that feels a little over long. Like they're kind of stretching some stuff out. Don't need to be stretched out. And I like the old aesthetic of the show because when the old show, it felt small and intimate, like the stage and the people and like it felt kind of punk rock in a way. Right. But this one feels bigger and way more like it's got way more money. So it's like watching an episode of Family Feud. You know, it doesn't have that like kind of, I don't know that kind of DIY aesthetic to it like it used to have. Yeah. And that's one thing about the Comedy Central Show too is like, I feel like with this one, Taylor Tomlinson's hosting it and she's one of the highest paid comedians in the world right now. Stephen Colbert is producing it and it's more like a late night feel, right? Like, so I feel like it's going to be more commercialized. Probably than at midnight used to be. Yeah, but there's not much of a talk show aspect to it. I mean, there's a little bit like she does a middle section of the show where she kind of talked to the comedians for a little bit, but it's not that long. And I don't know. It just it set up almost exactly like the old show. Just it just feels different. And I'm sure it'll grow on me, but you know, it just feels a little over produced. And I think that they might scale that back, especially after Taylor Tomlinson once she kind of gets comfortable in the position, you can tell she's still kind of nervous. But once she kind of gets in her groove, I Podcast She's absolutely hilarious. She writes fantastic jokes. But something about her delivery just bores me to tears. I could not care less when she opens her mouth just based off of... I mean, she has this weird monotone, but kind of like Valley Girl, vocal fry thing at the same time that she does. me with some times. Okay. I'm going to tell everyone this. You, you texted me the other day and you've been talking about the show coming back for a while now and you're like, we have to get on after midnight. You have to find a way to get us on after midnight. I'm like, dude, the only we're going to get on after midnight is if we befriend Taylor Thomas and blackmail somebody or blow the head of CBS. No, what we do is whenever somebody like Sean Patton gets on or Ariel Elias gets on, then we get them up and say, Hey, who do we need to talk to to get on the show? Yeah. And then they're not going to book us in a million years. Because here's the thing, dude, they're going to have, they have to have three different comedians every single night of the week for four nights a week. They need people to come in and be on the show. Yeah, but there's also 2000 more famous and talented comedians than us. And that's why they can reuse some of the comedians. We're never going to be on there. That's why we need to hit up the people that we know that are going to be on the show. Dude, they won't even share the episode. No one's going to be like, Hey, you need to put these guys on primetime CBS. They can't even click a share button. It's not primetime CBS. It's midnight. That's primetime. Now, dude, when's everyone watching TV? If you're watching TV at seven o'clock, you're a loser. Okay. Everyone's watching at midnight. That's the new primetime. Yeah. Of course you are, dude. You're old. You're out of touch. You don't know how the world works anymore. Midnight is the new 9 p.m. Okay. It just is. I'm sorry. Whatever you say. It doesn't air actually at midnight. Or is it from like a 11 30? So whatever. Here's the thing. You don't. Do you know how I've done some of the stuff I've gotten to do just by sheer man. By sheer force of will, like, gotten to make a movie with some of the people that were my idols growing up. I got signed to a major label. Like these things happen because I just willed them into existence. Sorry. I was trying to catch a fart in the mic while you were talking. It didn't work out. But no, my mic smells bad. You just absolutely don't believe we would ever make it on that show ever. No, dude, because the whole reason that they have the kind of comments on that show that they're going to have is because they have following, because they're professional comedians that have been working in the clubs professionally for at least 10 years. Like people like who was on the first episode, Kurt Brannoller, Whitney Cummins, that other chick, I can't pronounce her name, the funny Indian chick. Like they've all three have major TV credits have been doing clubs for years. Whitney Cummins does fricking theaters and arenas. Like they're not going to, you know, it's that level of people that they're going to have on. And if they need new blood, then they can just, you know, go to the comedy store or the comedy seller and see who's up and coming who just got passed and put them on t...
