Description

LaSalle "Sallie" Pickett, nee Corbell (1843-1931) was the wife of Civil War Confederate General George Edward Pickett (1825-1875). After their marriage in 1863 she accompanied him to his new assignment as head of the Department of North Carolina, headquartered in Petersburg. Decades after General Pickett's death, Sallie became a well-known writer and speaker on "her Soldier," eventually leading to the creation of an idealized Pickett who was the perfect Southern gentleman and soldier. A considerable amount of controversy attends Sallie Pickett's lionizing of her husband. Two books published posthumously in her husband's name, The Heart of a Soldier, As Revealed in the Intimate Letters of Gen'l George E. Pickett (1913) and Soldier of the South: General Pickett's War Letters to His Wife (1928), have been described as "unreliable works that were fictionalized by Pickett's wife." (Sallie was also the author, under her own name, of Pickett and His Men, 1899.) As a result, General Pickett has become a figure partially obscured by "Lost Cause" mythology. Her other works include: Literary Hearthstones of Dixie (1912) and What Happened to Me (1917).
