Pickett was seriously wounded in the Seven Days Battles at Gains Mills defending Richmond in 1862. He performed brilliantly in this action and earned himself a reputation for bravery. He rejoined the Army of Northern Virginia prior to the Antietam Campaign serving with distinction. On July 3, 1863 Pickett led his small division, together with support units from 3rd Corps, charging the Union center at Gettysburg in what is now famously known as “Pickett’s Charge.” Many regard this moment as the high water mark in the war for the Confederacy.
This beautiful piece is framed in a cherry stained solid wood shadowbox, 12 by 10 inches and 2 and 1/8 inches deep, with a glass face - all made in the USA. It includes the relics as described above. The depth of the box adds a beautiful effect to the piece. Annotations are on the back of the frame and each has been individually signed by AMHSoc, denoting its origin as the limited edition piece that it is. Images are available in gray tones and Sepia.
