[Grand Old Partisan]

The Confederate rebels whom you revere were not brothers-in-arms of U. S. soldiers, but their killers. I suggest you follow James Longstreet's example and snap out of your rebellious stupor.

Your showing your ignorance of history again. Look up the relationships between George W. Randolph, Pickens, Lee, Johnston, Grant, President Tyler, Turner Ashby, Armistead, Custer, Hancock, Longstreet, etc.

Wrong.

 

The Marker reads:

"Armistead (Masonic Emblem) Hancock Friends and Fellow Officers in the United States Army prior to 1861.

The fate of the Civil War made them foes on the Battlefield at Gettysburg. Confederate Brig. General Lewis A. Armistead and Union Major General Winfield S. Hancock were both wounded in Longstreet's assault, Pickett's Charge, July 3, 1863.

Here at the Union Army 11th Corps Field Hospital, George Spangler Farm, Armistead died of his wounds on July 5, 1863. Northwest of the Marker is the site where Hancock was initially treated for his wounds. Hancock survived the War and became a well known military, political and civil leader.

He died on active military duty at Governor's Island, New York on February 9, 1886."
