Pochádzal zo Severnej Carolina. Won kvalitné vzdelanie in Europe and dominated niekoľko európskych and classic jazykov. After začiatku občianskej army vstúpil to súkromnej unit of Wade Hampton, but čoskoro prešiel to the units of the birth Severnej Carolina. Took velenie 12. neskôr 22. pešieho severokarolínskeho regiment. Long odmietal prijať vyššiu hodnosť I stand next to my výkonom, because sa is considered a person with nedostatočným military vzdelaním. At the insistence of the president himself Chief received vo februári 1862 hodnosť brigádneho general.

In bitke pri Seven Pines utrpel ťažké zranenie. Bol zasiahnutý in the neck and takmer vykrvácal. They found him unionistickí soldiers and odniesli him to poľnej hospital. In jeseni 1862 he exchanged the halberd for the captured unionistického general and could indicate the sa to come into service. Before the battle during Gettysburg sa returned to summon severokarolínskej brigáde. Into a fight viedol Pettigrew one of the najsilnejších brigades in konfederačnej the army. Niektoré his regiments or already improved the time in dlhšej campaign. Mali high status men and boli well armed and rigged. His brigade podliehala divízii general Heth. In úvodných bojoch you divízia did my time and have suffered ťažké straty. After the wounds of general Heth, has taken over the velenie Pettigrew. Nevertheless utrpeniu in the first dňoch fights sa his unit along with him took part in what known Pickettovho attack. Aj when mnohí historians podotýkajú, that right would sa mala pa akcia označovať Pickett-Pettigrew - Trimblov attack, because Pickett viedol iba one third of the zúčastnených forces.

During the attack under him, killed a horse, well he continued at the head of summon divízie vo murderous paľbe smerom to Cemetery Ridge. Doviedol attack to tesnej near unionistických vojakov, where utrpel ťažké poranenie hand. Nevertheless zostal zo your vojakmi and vidiac failure of the attack, zavelil to retreat. After skrachovanom attack sa stretol with veliacim generálom Leeom. The need to balance ľútosť over his zranením and suffering of his mužov, but at the same time he gave to divíziou took krytie ustupujúcej konfederačnej army. During the retreat of the sa came back major-general Heth and Pettigrew opäť taken over most of my part-time job. Zostali ako last unit konfederačnej army to protect searching through the Potomac to the army ustúpiť. During the retreat my bol pri Falling Waters in Západnej Virginia smrteľne injured výstrelom to bruch. Zomrel about three days in the town of Bunker Hill.
