Pickett Failed
By Steve Heins
Pickett Failed
Years later,
Pickett was asked
why his charge failed:
“I always thought
the Yankees had
something to do
with it.”
Sheer bravery, idealism,
misguided loyalties,
still honestly
confounds me,
although great American
poet Abraham Lincoln
came very close
to understanding…
He explained Gettysburg's
importance to the world
in just 272 words.
