RE: U.S. Grant saved George Pickett's neck
According to Wikipedia, George Pickett was fully pardoned June 23, 1874 via the U.S. Congress passing House Resolution 3086 (which Grant supported). He died at age fifty 13 months later. The pardon didn't pertain to the "hanging incident" but to his being a Confederate officer.
