Unlike the photographs around it, this item is a printed sheet music cover, a piece of popular music packaging meant to sell a march named for the Confederate assault of July 3, 1863. Pickett's Charge, led by Maj. Gen. George Pickett under Robert E. Lee, sent roughly 12,500 Confederate infantry across open fields toward the Union center on Cemetery Ridge, and the attack collapsed under artillery and rifle fire. Songs and marches like this one kept the episode alive for audiences in the decades afterward, when Gettysburg became a focus of reunions and memorial commemoration. The cover art shows how the battle was remembered in print, often more heroically than the fighting itself.
