Joseph Lamb rose from the rank of private to sergeant first class in the 16th Maine that held back the enemy at Gettysburg and Welden Railroad so others might escape to fight on. He was captured both times and served in Belle Isle and Salisbury for a total of nine months. At Fredericksburg he volunteered to go on the field under fire to bring off the wounded. He is a hero because he saved others and because he had the strength of spirit to survive soul-wrenching experience as a prisoner of war.
