High Water Mark Woodcarving
 Pickett's Charge took place on the third day of the battle of Gettysburg. The object of the charge was to converge on a low stone wall after crossing a mile of open ground. Although a small number of Rebel troops survived to reach the wall, they were too few and unsupported to remain.
This piece depicts a wounded Confederate flag bearer who has managed to drag himself to the wall and is urging his remaining comrades forward.
"High-Water Mark" is in a private collection in Virginia.
