Answer
George Pickett graduated last in his class at the U.S. Military Academy. This is notable because it is not typical for someone who graduates last in their class to become a successful general. However, Pickett was able to overcome his poor academic record and become a respected military leader. He is best known for his role in the Battle of Gettysburg, where he led the Confederate charge at Cemetery Ridge.
