Summary
Description'Confederate General Lewis Armistead at The Angle' -- Gettysburg (PA) Cyclorama 2012.jpg |
English: 'The Battle of Gettysburg', also known as the Gettysburg Cyclorama, is a cyclorama painting by the French artist Paul Philippoteaux depicting "Pickett's Charge", the climactic Confederate attack on the Union forces on Cemetery Ridge during the Battle of Gettysburg on Friday afternoon July 3, 1863.
The section of the Cyclorama shown above depicts Confederate General Lewis Armistead struck by rifle fire while leading his brigade in a break-through of the Union infantry line on Cemetery Ridge at an area known as "The Angle". Armistead's brigade arrived at Gettysburg on the evening of July 2nd. As part of the Pickett-Pettigrew Charge on the 3rd, Armistead led his brigade from the front on foot (not on a horse as portrayed above), waving his hat from the tip of his saber, and reaching and climbing over the stone wall at the "Angle", which served as the Charge's objective. Armistead was shot three times just after crossing the stone wall. However, his wounds were initially not believed to be mortal, being shot in the fleshy part of the arm and below the knee. He was eventually taken to a Union field hospital at the George Spangler Farm where he died two days later. The chief surgeon at the Union hospital there had expected Armistead to survive because he characterized the two bullet wounds as not serious. He wrote that the death "was not from his wounds directly, but from secondary fever and prostration".
