Captain Eroushton can have meant that
Pettisrcw's men were with ricketts in
their breach OF the euemys line. This
IS the entire evidence that has been pro-

Of PicketJs successful assault and. when
what We shall produce below is consid-
cred il seems perfectly clear 10 us that
none % them were with that part OF

they could have been with them.
II We are right about this, then the only
North Carolnians that could have been
engaged in Pichetts breach, must have
been from TIE nrisadss OF Scales or Lane.

I,owrence or Lane had a right to claim

Of the charge when the whole army
was talking about this tremendous
event?
There remain two very strong items
Of this negative character of evidence to
bring forward. Major J. A. Engelhard
was the Adjutant General Of Pender's
division to which Scales and Lanes
brigade belonged, and Pender having
died of his wound. Major Enselhard
made the official report of the battle
on November 4. 1863. He thus describes
the charge.

over the country announcing that any

IN his veins can be admitted to- citizen

There are 1909 persons squatting on
