COMPANY B, 20th MAINE, is a living history group dedicated to preserving the memory of Maine Civil War volunteers.  The original Company B was mustered into the 20th Regiment, Maine Volunteer Infantry, in August 1862, in time to march to Antietam with the Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac.  Company B, commanded by Walter G. Morrill, had been recruited in Piscataquis County, among the farmers of Dover, Milo, and Sebec.  At Gettysburg, Company B was sent out as skirmishers by Colonel Chamberlain to protect the regiment's exposed left flank.  Posted behind a stone wall, the Company was too far away to participate in the initial fight, but was instrumental in routing the fleeing Confederates, its sudden appearance adding to the Rebel confusion.  Company B was with the 20th in all its battles, from the Wilderness to Petersburg to Appomattox.  Its Captain, Walter Morrill, became the Regiment's last commander in March, 1865.
