Confederate Major General George E. Pickett graduated from West Point in 1846. Two of his famous classmates in the US Civil War were generals George B. McClellan and Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson. Neither of them served at the Battle of Gettysburg, where unfortunately Pickett's name became well known due to the infamous charge he led on the last day of the Gettysburg battle in 1863.
