[QUOTE=WoodenTaco] Did you charge Pickett? (And are you sure you are at least as famous as Botticelli?) [/QUOTE] Yes, I am Johnston Pettigrew. CSA General who commanded one of the threedivisions of Pickett’s Charge. And well, _I_ think Gen. Pettigrew qualifies, since this game was shorter than the Jaime Lannister game. Congratulations **Wooden Taco**. ---

Well, it only took about 70 posts to get Pettigrew. Seems like it wasn’t THAT difficult. But, if you disagree, then what can I do? BTW, did you know that George Lazenbyplayed Pettigrew in the movie _Gettysburg_? Yup, old 007 himself. So, Rd 20 to Wooden Taco. ---

I’m just teasing, **Wargamer.** We did benefit from some good DQs, though. New round: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9888187](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9888187) ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Were you a South Carolinian opposed to secession? [/QUOTE] This was James Petigru, incidentally. He noted that the Palmetto State was “too small to be a republic and too large to be an insane asylum.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-rd-19/452171.md?page=3)
