Fellow Soldiers Pay Tribute to Gen. George Pickett After His 1875 Death

Following his death at age 50 in 1875 due to a liver abscess, the former soldiers who served with Gen. George Pickett during the late war and other former Confederates rallied to remember him as the epitome of the honor and glory of Virginia, and for "the supreme hour when he marched into the jaws of death on the iron-clad heights of Gettysburg." Here's a sampling of the testimonials. "Life on the Civil War Research Trail" is hosted by Ronald S. Coddington, Editor and Publisher of Military Images magazine.
