Pickett's Charge on the afternoon of July 3, 1863, marked the farthest point the Confederate army reached at Gettysburg, the moment that gave the battle its "high tide" name. The catalog credits the work to a former Confederate soldier, so it reflects a veteran's memory of that assault rather than a Union view of the Cemetery Ridge fighting. Postwar artists who had served on either side often painted these scenes to record what they had seen, and the viewpoint is worth weighing alongside the drama of the composition.
