Confederate General Richard Brooke Garnett.




General Garnett commanded a brigade in General Pickett's Division. His Virginia soldiers were the first to strike the Union center at the Angle during "Pickett's Charge". General Garnett was killed during the charge and his body was never identified amongst the hundreds that were buried on the field. His remains probably lie amongst those of his men, resting today in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.
