Pickett's Charge was the last best chance for a Confederate victory in
the Civil War and came during the final day's fighting at Gettysburg,
July 3, 1863. While Confederate General Robert E. Lee's greatest gamble
has been told and retold, the heroic stand of the Union forces has
received scant attention. Released during this 150th anniversary of the
epic battle of Gettysburg, Pickett's Charge: The Untold Story tells the
story of the heroic defenders of the Union and especially the
Philadelphia Brigade and its commander General Alexander Webb. Webb won
a Congressional Medal of Honor for his valor that afternoon and later
became President of the City College of New York. With the outcome of
the Civil War in the balance, Webb and his fellow soldiers stopped the
Confederates at a spot known as the High Water Mark of the Confederacy
and saved the Union.
