Virginia-born military officer (1825–1875) who fought with distinction during the Mexican-American War, resigning his commission to join the Confederate forces shortly after the beginning of the Civil War. Rising to the rank of Confederate brigadier general within a year, a division led by Pickett arrived on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg. In an attack that would come to be immortalized as “Pickett’s Charge,” more than half of the Confederate forces were wiped out. Pencil signature, “Your poor miserable George,” on a 4 x .5 clipped slip. In very good condition, with two diagonal areas of toning through opening words, not affecting actual signature. The “George,” could be removed from the rest of the slip making for a clean presentation. RRAuction COA.
