Chief, here are some other thoughts on Pickett's charge, and Lee's order to destroy Pickett's report.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickett's_Charge

Col. Peyton, of the 19th VA., reported positively on the charge. He mentions the post and rail fence almost in passing, as if it were not a factor.

There is also speculation as to the contents of the report, including what it apparently did NOT say about Longstreet.

History can be very strange at times. Stan
