Friend AND Foe?

I kept hoping that through the entire book, somehow, Armistead and and Hancock would meet up for their grand reunion and be able to just "talk" as Armistead was so hoping to do. I really felt so sorry for him when he finally made it over the wall, just to be shot right there. When he is also informed that his dear friend, General Hancock has also been hit, he is so sad. "No, not both of us, not all of us...tell him how very sorry I am...", he states to an officer that hovers over him. Such a sad ending for Armistead. I got to really like the guy.

    Those are the same feelings I kept having. I like your title. These guys were close friends but circumstances made them hurt each other.

    After reading the book I went to the video store the next day and rented the movie "Gettysburg". The movie is even more sad because there is a face instead of a name in the book. Watch the movie if you have not seen it yet. Good post!
