In the foreground is General James Longstreet (wearing a hat and beard), who is issuing the fateful order for the frontal assault. Seated on horseback is Major General George Pickett, who raises his hat in greeting and enthusiastically accepts the order. The ensuing attack went down in history as ‘Pickett's Charge'.
