<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Chamberlain">Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain</a> (1828-1914) was a pivotal figure — perhaps the pivotal figure — in the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/story/Article/2086560/medal-of-honor-monday-army-maj-gen-joshua-chamberlain/">Union victory</a> in the American Civil War. At least that's what you're taught if you're from his native Maine, where his actions leading the 20th Maine Infantry at <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gettysburg">Gettysburg</a> are positioned as decisive in that battle and, thus, in the war. With an Alabama regiment sweeping toward the 20th Maine on the hill <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Round_Top">Little Round Top</a>, and with his men low on ammunition, Chamberlain ordered a bayonet charge which captured more than 100 Confederates and defended the hill. With this action, the Union was saved.Historians (at least those outside Maine) <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.bangordailynews.com/2021/10/19/news/leading-chamberlain-scholar-urges-caution-in-renaming-a-military-base-after-him/">are less sure</a>. There's little evidence he even made his famous "Bayonets!" yell; it may have been <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="http://www.gdg.org/Research/People/Chamberlain/flash.html">someone else's idea entirely</a>. And even had the 20th Maine fallen, there were 12,000 other Union soldiers nearby and the fate of his unit was not anywhere close to save-the-Union importance. But Hollywood has been kind to Chamberlain; he was played by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Daniels">Jeff Daniels</a> in the movies <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettysburg_(1993_film)">Gettysburg</a> (1993) and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_and_Generals_(film)">Gods and Generals</a> (2003) and portrayed as pivotally important. (Even in the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://archive.org/details/seaofmonsters00rior/page/252/mode/2up?q=chamberlain">Percy Jackson books</a>!)To be clear: not a bad dude or anything. Served four years as governor of Maine, was president of Bowdoin College, wounded six times in battle — good soldier, good man! Just didn't personally save the United States of America one afternoon.One note about this embedding: Joshua Chamberlain had several walruses worth of mustache, in <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=583848030&amp;sxsrf=AM9HkKk1AmvvLeIBoE3d3zYNfZWB_JDBzA:1700436336047&amp;q=joshua+lawrence+chamberlain&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=lnms&amp;sa=X&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiztpf-mtGCAxVNEFkFHVNrDg4Q0pQJegQIDxAB&amp;biw=1470&amp;bih=802&amp;dpr=2">nearly every photograph ever taken of him</a>. Stable Diffusion likes to give him odd, uneven mixes and styles of mustache hairs, so I'd suggest prompting in whatever direction you want — something like mustache:1.5 in either the positive or negative prompt, depending on your wishes.
