The man who gave his name to the greatest failed frontal attack in American military history, George E. Pickett is among the most famous Confederate generals of the American Civil War. Lesley J. Gordon sets out to illuminate Pickett's legend as well as his life.
A soldier, his widow, and their story; The man who gave his name to the greatest failed frontal attack in American military history, George E. Pickett is among the most famous Confederate generals of the Civil War. But even today he remains imperfectly understood, a figure shrouded in Lost Cause mythology. In this carefully researched biography, Lesley Gordon moves beyond earlier studies of Pickett. By investigating how Pickett''s wife LaSalle, who outlived her husband by five decades, helped control his historical image, Gordon illuminates Pickett''s legend as well as his life.
