Gen. George Pickette

Hood comanded a corp. under Longstreet.

Sorry, Hood commanded a division, one of the three in Longstreet's corp, the others being Pickett's and McLaws'. The three Confederate Corp commanders at Gettysburg were Longstreet, Ewell, and A.P. Hill.

Was it McLaws? He was relieved of command by Longstreet during the Knoxville campaign.

Sorry about that, Gen. Hood lead the Army of Tennesse, against Gen. Sherman.

He did lead a division in Longstreets Corp.
