"It has always seemed strange to me that so many writers should still persist in giving all the credit of that glorious but deadly charge at Gettysburg to Pickett's division. My brigade never; moved forward more handsomely, nor did it ' fight more heroically than on that occasion, and this, lyou know, is saying a great deal, when we remember how des perately it fought on many other oc casions, and that it was publicly complimented by President Davis and General R.

' If I could wield a pen as well as we fought for our rights, I would not hesitate, to use it also in defeuce ot justice and right, giving to North , Carolina her oroner nlace in the, third dav's fieht at Gettysburg, ad nobly won for her by the bngadVs ot Lane.
