Lo Armistead survived also and later became very critiical of Lee. He was against this battle. Told Lee the enemy has the better ground!. He wanted to leave and fight another day when the odds were with them. Lee said my enemy is here so here is where i will meet them.
my mistake it was Longstreet not Armistead.
It was Armistead, wounded on the third of July, died on the 5th. I knew Reynolds was lost initially, but I don’t remember the other generals. On the Confederate side, generals Semmes, Barksdale, “Armistead”, Garnett, and Pender (plus Pettigrew during the retreat). On the Union side, generals Reynolds, Zook, Weed, and Farnsworth (and Vincent, promoted posthumously). No other battle claimed as many general officers. Union general Francis Barlow was severely wounded and thought to have died on the battlefield. Years later at a political affair in NY or DC someone asked him if he was related to the General Barlow who was killed at the battle of Gettysburg, to which he answered; “I am the General Barlow who was killed at battle of Gettysburg”. If Armistead was critical of Lee after the war, it had to be at a seance????
