"Pickett or Pettigrew? An Historical Essay" by W. R. Bond is a late 19th-century essay that untangles the truth from popular misconceptions surrounding the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg. The author directs attention to Brigadier Generals George Pickett and Johnston Pettigrew, whose parts in "Pickett's Charge" have been historically misrepresented. Through detailed examination of brigade contributions and casualties, the essay seeks to accurately represent the courage and resilience of the Confederate troops, particularly those from North Carolina. The dedication honors the soldiers of Hill's Corps, who fought under General Longstreet’s command but have been obscured by history. Bond's preface notes the interest generated by his effort to correct the historical defamation of Pettigrew's leadership and dedication. By profiling General Pettigrew’s early military history and esteemed reputation, the essay aims to correct the myths surrounding the charge, highlighting the disregarded valor of Confederate soldiers.
