Pettigrew's charge at Gettysburg. By General B. D. Fry.
office of Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va., December 8th, 1878. General B. D. Fry:
My Dear Fry — Although the battle of Gettysburg has during the year past been very much discussed, no proper exposition has been made of the part which was borne in the final charge by the brigades that day commanded by General Pettigrew.
Swinton and other writers have created the impression that Pickett's division alone reached, in orde fair fame of Pettigrew, who was one of the most cultivated, accomplished and chivalrous commanders of the Army of Northern Virginia.
I hope, therefore, you will contribute to the records of this Society your narrative of the final charge at Gettysburg.
Sincerely and always your friend, Dabney H. Maury, Chairman Executive Committee Southern Historical Society.

A Correction of Dr. McKim's paper. By Colonel J. R. Winston.
It seems almost impossible to get the facts of battles.
Writers of the very highest standing make different statements about the same transaction.
Rev. Dr. McKim, in sketch of Steuart's brigade on third day at Gettysburg, says (Southern Historical Society Papers, June, 1878, pages 298-9): Daniel's brigade remained in the breastworks during and after the charge, and neither from that command nor from any other had we any support.
Now, I know that Daniel's brigade went into the fight on General Steuart's line; as we went in I passed General Steuart, and as I came out (badly wounded) I again passed him. Hestopped me and talked with me about my wounds.
A portion of Daniel's brigade — some of the Forty-fifth North Carolina regiment--never did get behind breastworks, although they were exposed to two lines of works of the enemy.
I can bear fullest testimony to the gallantry of General Steuart and his brave regiments of V

Colonel Winston's Correction corrected. By Rev. Dr. R. H. Mckim.
The February number of these Papers (page 94) contains a communication from Colonel J. R. Winston, calling in question the accuracy of certain statements made by me in my narrative of Steuart's brigade at Gettysburg.
Allow me first to assure my critic that I have been unfortunate in conveying my meaning if anything I have written seems to imply a slur either on General Daniel or his brave men. My meaning was that for such a charge to be made by a single brigade, unsupported, was proof that somebody blundered --not General Daniel, because it is to be presumed that he acted in obedience to orders.
I simply stated the fact that a charge which, to some of Steuarts' regiments, was as fatal as Balaklava was to the Light brigade, was made by that brigade without support, though help was at hand in General Daniel's gallant brigade, which moved up and took our position when we left the Federal works to make the charge.
