General James J. Pettigrew's

Edit - I don't know what happened to the Trivia Master, but it's time for me to come to a decision on how to score this question.

My decision is that Pettigrew is the correct answer. This is supported by the following sources:

Henry Heth

Edit - Heth was the commander of the division which included Pettigrew's brigade, but the question asked for the brigade commander.
