He moved his men forward from a defensive position down into the peach orchard and wheat field. His troops were decimated ( Sickles lost a leg), but they bought time for the reinforcement of the Union line and perhaps kept their flank from being turned..

You're probably thinking of Richard S. Ewell, who lost his leg after being shot in the knee at the Second Battle of Manassas (or Bull Run) in August 1862. Ewell was away from the army for nearly a year recovering from the amputation, but was thought to be well enough to replace Stonewall Jackson in command of the Second Corps of General Lee's Army, after Jackson died from his wound received at Chancellorsville, in May, 1863. Chancellorsville was the big battle which immediately preceded Gettysburg, so Gettysburg was Ewell's first battle as a corps commander. Previously he had been a division commander, and a good one. But indecisiveness or timidity perhaps, maybe induced by his wound or his year-long absence from the fighting, or the paralysis of mind which afflicted many men when promoted one grade above their level of competence, some cause at any rate led to a performance at Gettysburg less effective than had been hoped. Ewell, though much liked personally, proved that he was certainly no Stonewall Jackson. Ewell had also married a widow woman during his year of convalescence, and spoke of "my wife, Mrs. Brown". Some ascribed his poor performance to her influence, but this seems unlikely to me. Ewell had to be strapped on a horse to get around the field, and in the end the rigors of service with the field army proved too much for him, and he was sent to command the defenses of Richmond. His departure in his reduced state was not much of a loss to the army.

Daniel Edgar Sickles was a major general in the Civil War. While he was riding on a horse, a 12 pound canon bomb crushed his leg. Daniel was okay, although his leg was removed. It is now in a medicine museum in Washington D.C. Daniel Edgar Sickles was my great great great great great great uncle!

The phrase "Onward, boys! Do you want to live forever?" was famously shouted by U.S. Army General Daniel E. Sickles during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
