   After three days of battle, Pickett's three brigades were to attack in front toward the Union line. Over 15 thousand Civil War veterans, mostly from Virginia and North Carolina, marched across a mile wide stretch of field, directly into the blazing guns of entrenched Union forces. As they came closer the marchers broke into a charge.
