Years later and in their final visit, George Pickett with Col John Mosby left Lee’s house in Richmond. Still smarting to John Mosby as they walked, about losing his division. But John Mosby said ‘true George; but, he made you, immortal.’ Mosby BTW knew two soldiers (one who died at Gettysburg), and much later in life as an old man, befriended a young kid in California over their love of horses. The men who died (in PA and VA) were named Patton. Their nephew, who they never got to met but Mosby did, was George Patton.
