"Pickett’s charge [at the Battle of Gettysburg] will always be remembered as a tragic desperate maneuver."
"After the failure of the Confederate artillery to destroy the Union defenses, and the quick counter fire from the Union artillery, Lee entrusted Longstreet with three divisions: Trimble, Pettigrew, and Pickett. Those three divisions charged across a field of fire a mile in length, and up a sloping hill towards the muskets and cannons waiting for them at the top . . . The day ended in defeat for the Confederates. Pickett’s Division was utterly destroyed."
