Of course, we know there was a Lincoln and Pickett connection. Its another story that I hope is true. You would think that those who were with Lincoln would have documented somewhere the stop by the Pickett residence-if it happened! The lovely 'Sallie' was also responsible for spreading the story that Lincoln was responsible for George Pickett's appointment at West Point. While this legend has been debunked, it is surprising how often this anecdote appears in Gettysburg articles. Pickett's appointment cane via Congressman John T. Stuart. |
