In preparation for Sunday and July 4, I have put the red, white, and blue wreath on the front door, set out the red and blue bath towels, and changed the table linens to flag-like placements. Besides displaying small flags on our church grounds, we will celebrate our countryâs birthday this year with these acts, though in the past there was always a family reunion.
Sadly, with that generation gone, we no longer meet family en masse with any regularity; instead, we all celebrate in our separate ways, hindered by distance and competing events.
We will also commemorate the day with patriotic songs, which brings me to todayâs topic: Where did these songs originate? Who wrote them, and what inspired the lyrics?
SUMMARY
Lewis A. Armistead was a Confederate general in the Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War (1861–1865). Decorated for bravery during the Mexican War (1846–1848), the West Point dropout and widower earned a reputation as a tough, soft-spoken, and highly respected leader at such battles as Seven Pines (1862), Antietam (1862), and Malvern Hill (1862), and was known to his friends, ironically, as “Lo,” short for Lothario. At Gettysburg, on July 3, 1863, he helped to lead the frontal assault that came to be known as Pickett’s Charge. When Armistead, at the head of his brigade, reached the stone wall on Cemetery Ridge that protected the Army of the Potomac‘s Second Corps, he was shot and wounded more than once. The Union troops who fired the fatal shots happened to be commanded by one of Armistead’s closest friends, Winfield Scott Hancock. His death was immortalized in the 1993 film
