James Longstreet (January 8, 1821 - January 2, 1904) was one of the foremost Confederate generals of the American Civil War and the principal subordinate to General Robert E. Lee, who called him his "Old War Horse." He served under Lee for many of the famous battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater. General Longstreet's talents helped significantly to the Confederate victories at Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chickamauga. He also performed strongly during the Seven Days Battles, the Battle of Antietam, and until he was seriously wounded, at the Battle of the Wilderness. At the Battle of Gettysburg he disagreed with General Lee on the tactics to be employed and reluctantly supervised the disastrous infantry assault known as Pickett's Charge
