The following is from a newspaper article, b}^ Mr. John Frazier of Phila- delphia, and describes the presentation of the sword of General Armistead: 192 Seldens of Virginia "When Gen. L. A. Armistead, who commanded the advance brigade of Pickett's Division, crossed the stone wall of Cemetery Ridge, at the 'Bloody Angle' of Gettys- burg, he drew his sword, and, placing his hat on its point, waved it aloft as a conspicuous guidon for the heroic followers of his command to rally around. "General A...rmistead and about 100 of his men — prac- tically all that remained of his brigade upon reaching Cemetery Ridge — penetrated about 100 feet inside the Union lines, held by the Philadelphia Brigade. At that point General Armistead. Surrounded by men of the Philadelphia Brigade, fell mortally wounded, and the sword which dropped from his hand was picked up by Sergeant ?^Iichael Specat, and remained in his possession until last September, when it was returned to Capt. Thom- as D. Jeffress, president of Pickett's Division, with im- pressive ceremonies, at the Gettysburg reunion of the Philadelphia Brigade and Pickett's Division.
