[233]
When I reached General Pickett I found him too far down towards the Emmettsburg road to see these flanking troops, and he asked of me the number.
I remember answering 7,000, but this proved an over estimate.
Some of our men had been faced to meet this new danger, and so doing somewhat broke the force of our charge on the left.
Probably men of the 1st Virginia will remember this.
