Allegedly, just so. There's been some historical dispute over Armistead's last words; some measure of 'idolization' of him has occurred in the last twenty years or so, certainly since Michael Shaara's
Killer Angels, and the portrayal of GEN Armistead by Richard Jordan in the movie
Gettysburg, which was based on Shaara's book.
Still and all, a brave man in a troubled time.
