As a youth visiting my grandparents who lived near Gettysburg, I was told many stories about this battle. However, some stories, I later learned were pure hogwash, as they say. One such story, which stuck with me because of its poignancy, concerned the death of General Reynolds. It was told to me that the General upon being struck by the deadly bullet uttered these last words: "Egad, I am killed!".
