Battle Plans" By Victoria Heilshorn 2007 Of all battles in the American Civil War, no conflict is more famous (or infamous) than the battle of Gettysburg, and during the battle of Gettysburg, no moment more defining than what has come to be known as Pickett's charge. This particular engagement has always completely fascinated me. I have been to Gettysburg many times and stood at the place on Seminary Ridge from w the Confederates made their fateful charge that July day in 1863. To behold the scope and distance of the land over which they had to march and reflecting on the courage it must have taken to make the attempt is awe-inspiring to say the least. This too being couple with the fact that Pickett's charge has come to be known also as the high tide of the Confederacy, it gives this moment in Civil War history an almost unparalleled importance, and is a subject worthy of reflection and immortalization.I wanted to capture a sense of this moment as an artistic subject, and instead of re-doing a scene of the battle itself (which to me, in some ways, has been done to death), I found inspiration from a segment of the classic documentary "The Civil War" by Ken Burns. It is always my desire to seize upon those things which most humanize the conflict, and this particular segment offered a touching example. Renown author and Civil War
