    While Pickett's charge of 12,000 or so might be more well known, numbers wise, it doesn't hold a candle to the charge spearheaded by Hood under Lee of 30,000/50,000 at Gaines' Mill.

    It's history and a shameless plug!

    And some great photos, both now and from 1862.

    These folks need just a little more help to save this hallowed ground.
