The link says he married a Native American woman. Interesting link.
That's quite typical of people in high authority like generals and politicians, then and nowThis is not to bash the man I was listening to a lecture last night and they spoke about when picking wife gave birth the generals in the North sent him a tea set. What bothered me was while men are dying on both sides the generals are sending each other tea sets how nice their men could have used some tea.
That's what I was thinking thanks for the like.That's quite typical of people in high authority like generals and politicians, then and now

I was wondering if notorious would have been more apropos in describing General Pickett from 1861 to 1865.For those (like me) for whom the link in the OP doesn't work, here's one that does:
http://nwcitizen.com/index.php/entry/the-pickett-house-museum. It describes George's activities in the Pacific NW including the native wife and the Pig War, as well as the house.
Pickett wasn't the only one to have taken a native wife; so did Little Phil Sheridan down here in Oregon at Ft. Hoskins, despite his opinion of Indians.
Kinda wondering about that "successful Confederate general" quoted in JohnW.'s post--evidently the author he's quoting forgot about Five Forks?
I don't know how to answer this except really.Generals were dying also.
No picket fence?
And apologies for a bad pun.I was afraid to say it and you did it for me. Good show haha!
No apologies....it was a good laugh,Any apologies for a bad pun.
