Excerpt from Gettysburg: A Battle Ode Descriptive of the Grand Charge of the Third Day, July 3, 1863

"The Charge," generally known as "Pickett"s Charge," might be called "The Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge," but, rather than give it so long a name, the world has chosen to give it the name of the commander who led the right wing, partly because Pickett"s three brigades were made up of fresh troops, and as such were intended to give direction to the assault; and partly because in the charge Pickett"s three brigades suffered most.

As a Virginian I scorn the boast that Pickett"s Virginians were in anywise more gallant than the Tennesseeans or North Carolinians or Mississippians who were also in the assault. These latter had been in the terrible battle of the first day, and Pickett"s men had not been in either the first or second day"s battle.
