Garnett, Richard Brooke

That Pickettova divízia crossed the pri Gettysburg ťažkou skúškou niet pochýb. Ochre Armisteada padol aj another veliteľ brigade of this divízie, brigádny general Richard Brooke Garnett. Pochádzal from Virginia and bol bratrancom brigádneho general Robert Seldona Garnett, who is držiteľom dubious prvenstva. Bol first konfederačným generálom, ktorý padol in občianskej vojne. Garnett bol profesionálnym vojakom and slúžil in Mexican vojne.

Or zástancom secesie, well after začiatku army ponúkol my services konfederačnej the army. Very fast hodnostne napredoval and in novembri 1861 received hodnosť brigádneho general and velil brigáde under Stonewallom Jacksonom. Under Jacksonville command of the sa, his career zatriasla. During the campaign in the Shenandoah valley, thanks erroneous informáciám Turner Ashby, nariadil Jackson zaútočiť Garnettovej brigáde against much silnejšiemu opponent. The attack was an underachiever, brigáde sa míňala munícia and bola tiesnená from three sides. In zúfalej situácii Garnett without Jacksonovho vedomia nariadil retreat. Jackson is aware of your autoritatívnymi metódami sent Garnett before the military court for zanedbanie duties.

Lenže general Lee to train them your ťaženie to Maryland and needed each skúseného professional. Get rid of Garnett obvinenia and zveril his brigade during Antietam. In this bitke and similar to the aj pri Fredericksburg with your výkonmi zmyl Garnett shame zo summon honor. Pri Gettysburg Pickettova divízia first two days fighting chýbala. The last day uskutočnila a glorious attack on Cemetery Ridge. Before útokom sa Garnett rozprával with generálom Armisteadom and ostatnými veliteľmi brigades of terrible úlohe that ich she was waiting. Obaja with Armisteadom konštatovali that the attack is finished šialenstvo and can be podvedome, knowing that they're going to take a couple of hours mŕtvi.
Garnett sa could attack vyhnúť. He was injured and mal horúčku. For žiadnu price, however, nechcel to his povesť bola opäť poškvrnená. Brigádny general Garnett padol about 20 metrov from unionistických pozícii when povzbudzoval your mužov to záverečného onslaught. Garnett for svojmu zraneniu I couldn't viesť brigade peši, preto nevertheless protestom your dôstojníkov išiel at the head of the brigade on the horse, what of him robilo great cieľ. His horse zasiahli, the zrútil sa on the ground and privalil general Garnett. His hand him to the bottom of a horse vytiahol, but I nestihol out to get from bojiska. General Garnett was killed and bol pôvodne buried in masovom grave. Neskôr his pozostatky preniesli on the ' boneyard Hollywood in Richmond, in štáte Virginia.
