Brigadier General Lewis Addison Armistead was a brigade-level commander in Pickett's Division, Longstreet's Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, Robert E. Lee commanding. The two met while serving in San Diego, California. In 1861, Virginia seceded from the union, and Lewis answered the call to defend Virginia (his home). Hancock answered the call to arms as well, fighting for the Union Army. The two best friends found themselves on opposite sides of the same battle, when Armistead led his brigade of Virginia troops across the fields of Gettysburg in what was known as Pickett's Charge. Armistead had been shot in the arm and the leg, and died two days later in a Union Army field hospital that was set up at Spangler's Farm. He is buried in the family plot in Old Saint Paul's Cemetery in Baltimore, along with his uncle George Armistead, the commander of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 (the fort was under siege, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner).
