	Henry Heth (1825-1899)
		Henry Heth (December 16, 1825 - September 27, 1899) was a career U.S. Army officer and a Confederate general in the American Civil War.
		Heth was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia, a cousin of George Pickett.
		Heth's decision to deploy his two brigades before the arrival of the rest of his division was an error as well; they were repulsed in hard fighting against a crack division of the Army of the Potomac's I Corps, including the famously tenacious Iron Brigade.

		General Heth had pushed forward six pieces of artillery, and was throwing round shot and shell into our camp and into the ranks of our troops as they passed through the streets of the town, many of the shells striking the dwellings.
		While Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke pushed steadily up the slope of the hill in the face of a severe fire Colonel Gilbert was also advancing on the right flank and by a vigorous movement succeeded in capturing four pieces of artillery, one of which was loaded with canister at the time of the capture.
		If Heth makes the contemplated move he may easily be seriously threatened and annoyed by a superior force on his left.
