treated and before the sun was
high the federal line was once
more intact.
Lee determined to use every
ounce of strength left in his army
to pierce the federal center. He
felt that if he could divide
Meade's army he would accom
plish Its defeat.
Plckett's division of Virginia
troops was assigned the honor of
making the assault. To assist him
Pickett was given two other divi
sions commanded by Wilcox and
Pettigrew, bringing the total force
up to 15,000 men.
In preparation for the charge,
115 confederate cannon were
trained on Cemetery Hill, where
Hancock and his grim warriors
awaited the attack. Eighty guns
of the federal force were brought*
into action to reply.
It was one o'clock in the after
noon when the confederate artil
lery opened fire. For two hours
two hundred cannon shook the
hills. Both the Union and con
federate losses were tremendous.
At last the Union artillery
ceased firing and then the signal
for the confederate charge was
given.

more stirring event. In three col

THE TACOMA TIMES
detached themselves from the
great army on Seminary nidge
aud maivhed steadily toward their
enemy.
Not a man In the whole l. r>,otio
but knew the deadly Ranie he was
playing. Hut not a man faltered.
The nuns they had thought
were silenced were merely wait
ing. So when tlio movement of
l'ickett and Pettlgrew and Wil
cox shaped itself before the Union
(•inter every gun of the whole long
federal line was turned loose on
these if>,ooo gallant men.
Shells burst hi the front, in the
rear, ovt'ih'ail. Huge Baps were
tern in the lines by canister and
shell.
Before the confederates were
half way across that valley of de
itructlon half the charging force
was down. The horse of almost
every mounted officer was killed,
and l'ickett's three brigade com
manders all fell.
Thin, when they were three
hundred yards from the goal, the
thousands of I'nion muskets long
held in silence suddenly roared
their metMge of death.
PettlgMW'i men faltered ami
broke. Wileoz'i lines wavered
and fell back. But l'ickelt anil a
■carce third of the 16,000 Virgin
lan* that started with him rushed
on on!
Over the first lines of works nnd
Dp to the second they stormed.
The confederate flag waved for a
minute from the top of the inner
works and the men in gray and
blue mingled In a hand-to-hand
death struggle.
Slowly, very slowly—so des
ixrateiy fought these charging
southerners- the blue prevailed.
The confederate line gave way
and then rushed back in a pell
mell retreat. And the battle of
Gettysburg was won by the Union
forces.
The charge of Plckett was the
last effort of Lee.
The next day both armies rest
ed, exhausted, from the three
days of terrific struggle. The
night of the 4th Lee commenced
his retreat and crossed the Poto
mac on the 13th.
During the three days at Get
tysburg 40,002 men were killed
or mortally wounded. This was
almoßt a third of the total force
engaged. The federals lost
3.000 more than the confederates,
though they won the victory.
