After her husband's death in 1875, she traveled the country to promote a highly romanticized version of his life and military career that was generally at odds with the historical record. George Pickett emerged from the war with a strained relationship with Robert E. Lee-whom he partly blamed for the destruction of his division at Gettysburg (1863)-and accused of war crimes.

But in his wife's history, Pickett and His Men (1899), this not-always-competent soldier was transformed into the ideal Lost Cause hero, gallant and graceful as a knight of chivalry riding to a tournament. This image largely stuck in the American consciousness, leaving historians to spend much of the next century attempting to separate Pickett from his myth.
