An Historical Essay" by W. R. Bond is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The essay primarily discusses the events of the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, particularly focusing on the often misrepresented roles of Brigadier Generals George Pickett and Johnston Pettigrew during the famous "Pickett's Charge." By analyzing the contributions and losses of different brigades, the author seeks to set the historical record straight regarding the valor and endurance of the troops involved, especially those from North Carolina. The opening of the essay sets the stage by outlining the dedication to the brave soldiers of Hill's Corps, who engaged in combat under General Longstreet's orders but have since been overshadowed by historical inaccuracies. In the preface, Bond reflects on the initial publication of his work, mentioning how it captured the interest of many who were unaware of the persistent slanders against Pettigrew’s contributions. He introduces General Pettigrew’s background and early military career, quickly establishing his expertise and reputation before delving into a critical examination of the myths that have developed around the infamous charge, ultimately striving to uphold the honor of Confederate soldiers who fought valiantly despite being disregarded by subsequent historical narratives.
