The Killer Angels | Characters
Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead
Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead is one of Pickett’s brigade commanders. He is a shy, courtly, honest man, with a strong sense of duty. A widower, he is nicknamed Lo (short for Lothario) as a joke. He is a close friend of General Hancock, who is now fighting on the Union side, and this gives Armistead much cause for reflection. He had once said to Hancock, “if I ever lift a hand against you, may God strike me dead.” He takes part in Pickett’s charge, against positions defended by Hancock, and is killed.
