pickett to his shad bake. shad is a type of fish. that's what they had and they were pretty hungry, so a participant in the shad bake said the hours passed along idly, passing the bottle, eating shad, having a grand old time. unfortunately for pickett was that there was an acoustical shadow. his command was being rounded by sheridan and warden. five forks failed, and george pickett was out of a command. and hence richmond fell, petersburg fell and then richmond, et cetera. reportedly when lee is on the ride back to what will become apamatics he sees george pickett right by him and lee turns to one of his staff officers and says why is that man still with this army? which leads to the speculation of did lee remove him, did the order not go through, did pickett just ignore it, i mean et cetera, et cetera, but the two men have been cross ever since. pickett over gettysburg and lee over five forks, and now they are set to meet in richmond, virginia. now, you've got to understand when lee is in a foul mood lee woul

it is arguable in terms of military history, but he was on the scene of pickett's charge on the third day of the battle of gettysburg, july 3, 1863, so he saw waves and waves of unprotected confederates massing and marching and running toward these union lines and really being mowed down by artillery and then by gunfire. witness to the last stand of the confederacy in terms of invading the north. that never happened again after this epic. the footlocker was as well. is there evidence that he used the footlocker after the war? i mean, presumably so. there are little souvenirs from his prosaic and exalted career. the bridge was one, but he also worked on the flushing railroad. it sounds very unglamorous compared to pickett's charge, portableding to his work desk, he was an engineer in the field, and i guess he must have thought after the battle of gettysburg, all of this is gravy. survived, my baggage survived, and i'm just going to thank my lucky stars i can have a civilian career in engineering." lastaley: finally, our object this evening is a snare drum. it is beautiful, highly decor
