Strictly speaking, Lieutenant Melcher never claimed to have initiated the charge at Little Round Top; his story - that he asked permission to retrieve fallen wounded, was told that a charge was about to be ordered, and was the first company to set off - actually matches those of Colonel Chamberlain and several other officers, including the view from the Confederate lines and the wartime writing of Captain Spear himself.
