James Johnston Pettigrew was a very successful educator and philosopher. Many people believed
he was incapable of military leadership. This is why he does not get the respect he deserves. A.P. Hill did not
trust him. However, during Pickett's Charge, he led a North Carolina Brigade, and remained on the field despite a wound.
His men breached the stonewall at Gettysburg, and some even argue that the famous Pickett's Charge could have been called
Pettigrew's charge.
