WOMAN, THEN FIANCEE OF
REBEL HERO, SHOWS NOTE
HE WROTE ON BATTLE EVE
BY LA SALLE CORBETT PICKETT.
Widow of George E. Pickett, Famous Confederate General.
"Hut for You. My Darling. Your Soldier Would a Million Times Rather Be Back
There With Hi* Dead, to Sleep for All Time in an Unknown Grave."—Gen.
Pickett, After the Battle. •
\\ I rn the battle <>( <.<uv»burg was fought I «a> at my father's home in N'anscmond,
a count.* <'f Virginia, then within the federal lim< -. My suspense was great, for I had
bade the general, to whom I Mfta engaged, goodbye when he started north with Lee's army,
and he knew that a battle was impending.
One July morning I mounted our old mule, Nebuchad
nezzar, and set off for the C'hnckatuck po-toffice. On our
wa> I met some neighbors, one of whom rushed up to me
with face aglow;
"We've \miii a great battle in Pennsylvania; nothing now
but t<« march info Washington I know it is a proud day*
for the general ami for v-itr uncle, the colonel, and the old
Ninth."
I hounded into the store where the postoffice was kept
and, not observing the g!i»om in the faces of the villagers
gathered around, called out:
"I-n't it gloriou- news, friends?"
Jimmy Hunter Ciodwin turned and -aid:
"Glorious new-"- I have just come from the ferry and
the new - from the Yankei - stationed at Suffolk is that they
have won a great victorv and that Pickett's division is anni
hilated."
Taking my letters, written by the general on the north
\<*ard marrb nn<l «ent bv the underground route, I turned
toward home, -ick at heart, reading the letter* over and over.
From ime of the general - letters, written on July 3, just
before the great charge. 1 read :
"The officers and men are all in excellent condition, bright
and cheerful, singing songs and telling stories, full or hope
MRS I'H'KKTT
and courage, inspired with absolute faith and confidence in our success.
"Though almost exhausted by marching in the intense heat. I felt that the exigencies
demanded iny assuring Marse Robert (Robert E. Lee) that my men would be equal to
anything he might require of them.
"Well, my sweetheart, at 1
o'clock the awful silence was
broken by a cannon shot and
then another, and then more
than a hundred guns shook
the hills from crcst to base,
answeted by more than an
other hundred—then absolute
silence, then grim and grue
lome low-spoken commands—
then the forming of the attack
ing columns.
"My brave Virginians are to
attack in front. Oh. may God
in mercy help me as he never
helped me before!
"I have ridden up to report
to Old Peter (Gen. Long
street). I shall give him this
letter to mail to you—oh, my
darling, do you fe#J the love
of my heart, the prayer, as I
write that fatal word? It is
almost 3 o'clock. My soul
reaches out to yours.
"YOUR SOLDIER." i
The next letter -was that written on Jul>4. the day after the battle The general wrote:
"My brave boys were full of hope and confident of victory as I led them forth, form
ing them in column of attack. . .
"Over on Cemetery Ridge the federals beheld a scene never before witnessed on this conti
nent —an army forming in line of battle under their very eyes, charging across a space
neatly a mile in length over fields of waving grain and anon of stubble and then of smooth
expanse—moving with the steadiness of dress parade.
"Well, it is over now. The battle is lost, and many of us are prisoners, many are dead,
many wounded, bleeding and dying. Your soldier lives and mourns and. but for you, my
darling, he would rather, a million times, be back there with his dead, to sleep for all time
in an unknown grave. YOUR SOLDIER."
Gen. I'ickett came tip from the storm of fire and returned to f»ll in the thousands of
missing names un the r<»Tl call of Virginia troops. The vacancies in Virginia hearts and
lives would be lonely and sad.
On the 15th of September, 111 St Paul's church, amid the chimes of hells and bugles
and the blesMtig". of the good people to \vh<>m my soldier was a protector, we were
married. .
As we went down the aisle. loving words and prayers were showered upon us. black
robed women saving as they touched mv soldier's hand, "My boy with you at Gettys
burg!" sad-faced girl-> sobbing. "M\ brother fell on Cemetery Hill!" Put between lines of
soldiers, we passed, the bands playing and the bells chiming.
On the field of Gettysburg today stately monuments keep guard over the dead and
over undying memories. The pcaoe of God dwells iu their julcncc and reigns among the
hills around which thundered the guns of half a century ago. Fur that peace we meet to
thank the God of Nations ou the semi-centennial of the greatest battle ever fought on the
western hemisphere. . ».
Hut to us the ceremonies of this reunion mean much more. From all the states of
our neat union we have 90me to celebrate the welding <<f a tic that can tfever be broken.
All hearts are joined iji.>fealt\ 10. that country whose life once Hung in the balance on this
field. t V
Above all else, in reverence and faith we celebrate on this battle anniversary the per
petuity of our nation, while over us waves t4u« banner, from which no, star .is Jost and on
whose w'ide. blue sky shine new stars iu glory that. God willing, shall never fade.
