Abstract:
In 1881, French artist Paul Phillipoteaux painted the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama. It is the world's largest oil painting, measuring 376 feet long and 22 feet high. Wake Forest University now owns the painting and stores it in Clemmons, North Carolina. State Senator Ham Horton of Winston-Salem feels the painting would be a great tourist attraction and got $50,000 from the 1999 General Assembly to do a feasibility study on assembling the painting in suitable surroundings as a tourist attraction.

Abstract:
North Carolina claims to have been first at Bethel, furthest at Gettysburg, last at Appomattox. It cannot be questioned that Henry Wyatt of Edgecombe was first to fall at Bethel, or that the brigade of William R. Cox made the last charge at Appomattox, but what of the claim that North Carolina's troops were furthest at Gettysburg? North Carolina troops brought on that battle for on June 29, 1863, Heth's division reached Cashtown, from which points he sent forward the North Carolina brigade of Pettigrew to Gettysburg in search of supplies. Pettigrew found the town occupied by Federal cavalry, and its environs became the theater of the three days battle which ensued.

Abstract:
It is argued that the term 'Pickett's Charge,' referring to the movements of General George Pickett during the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, is actually a misnomer. As Pickett only commanded 3 brigades and 15 regiments, the phrase should give attention to General Longstreet, whose command led the charge according to official reports.

Abstract:
This battle's carnage is measured in more than Union and Confederate casualties. Included by the author were the destruction of the 26th North Carolina Regiment as a formidable force. Attesting to Gettysburg’s destruction included 28,000 Confederate dead or wounded, 2,935 of whom were buried in Virginia’s Hollywood Cemetery. The large number of North Carolina soldiers killed, one in four of total forces, helped to usher in a peace movement yielding 100 rallies and increased division between the Secessionists and Unionists.
