Page "Alfred Moore Scales" Paragraph 9

On the second day at Gettysburg, the brigade was only engaged in skirmishing, but in the third day's battle, it participated in the famous Pickett's Charge.

Half of the General Pender's division, James Lane's and Scales's brigades, advanced in the charge with Pickett's and Pettigrew's Divisions.

Since Pender had been wounded, his two brigades in the charge were placed under the command of Major General Isaac R. Trimble.

Due to Scales's wounding, his brigade was commanded during the charge by Colonel William Lee J. Lowrance.

Elements of this brigade were among the Confederates to advance farthest in the gallant but unsuccessful charge.
