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.
