What Happened to Me
Author: La Salle Corbell Pickett
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
"What Happened to Me" by La Salle Corbell Pickett is a biography of George Edward Pickett (1825-1875). He was a career United States Army officer who became a major general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He is best remembered for being one of the commanders at Pickett's Charge, the futile and bloody Confederate offensive on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg that bears his name. The narrative reveals his experience during the Civil War. Excerpt: ""OUT OF THE EVERYWHERE" There are some events with which we have become so familiar by report that we can scarcely believe they did not happen within our own recollection. Thus it is with my advent into earthly existence. Not long before the time at which I was expected to arrive in this vale of thorns and flowers my father's only brother was seriously ill. It became necessary for my father to accompany him to Philadelphia to consult an eminent surgeon. For months it had been definitely settled that I was to be a boy, for all was grist that came to my father's mill. No shadow of a doubt of my manhood clouded the family mind. My health had been drunk at the clubs and in the homes, and especially at the neighborhood functions, the fox hunts, and the name of Thomas La Salle had already been given me."
