Robert E. Lee and General George Pickett – of Pickett’s Charge – had a testy relationship. Lee thought poorly of Pickett because Pickett had been at a shad bake while his men were being slaughtered by General Sheridan at the Battle of Five Forks. Pickett met with Lee shortly before Lee’s death in 1870 along with General John S. Mosby. The meeting was frosty. After the meeting, Pickett snapped to Mosby, “That old man had my men massacred at Gettysburg,” to which Mosby replied, “Well, he made you immortal.”
