Dandy he may have been, but I disagree, regarding his abilities as a General.


BTW, Why would a resident of the "State of Fruits and Nuts" be trying to insult a Southern Officer's memory....?

Hey sport,I'm not trying to insult anyone, Southern Gentleman or otherwise.
FYI I was born in Smith County Texas (Tyler) IN 1936 and come from a long,long line of Confederate supporters from both Texas and Mississippi,and the 15th Alabama.

The fact is that Virginia's George Edward Pickett was a fine dashing figure with his perfumed locks and his dramatic
flare for the spotlight. But a a leader of men he had a lot of shortcommings.
When his Virginia Division made their charge at the Union center on the third bloody day at Gettysburg little Georgie was in the rear weeping.
I call that an ineffectual leadership. Southern Gentleman or not.
And you can take your crack about the "Land of Fruits and Nuts" and stick it where the sun don't shine.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you clown.
