Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The memoirs of Confederate commander George E. Pickett. LaSalle Corbell Pickett was a prolific author and lecturer, and the third wife of George E. Pickett, the Confederate general best known for his participation in the doomed frontal assault known as Pickett’s Charge during the American Civil War (1861–1865). After her husband’s death in 1875, she traveled the country to promote a highly romanticized version of his life and military career that was generally at odds with the historical record. George Pickett emerged from the war with a strained relationship with Robert E. Lee—whom he partly blamed for the destruction of his division at Gettysburg (1863)—and accused of war crimes. But in his wife’s history, Pickett and His Men (1899), this not-always-competent soldier was transformed into the ideal Lost Cause hero, “gallant and graceful as a knight of chivalry riding to a tournament.” This image largely stuck in the American consciousness, leaving historians to spend much of the next century attempting to separate Pickett from his myth.
