According to West Point, Pickett was admitted to the Academy on July 1, 1842, at the age of seventeen years, four months.Unfortunately, cadets of that era were not required to supply their exact dates of birth for the Academy's records. So the exact day is not know..
It's just that too many sources have listed too many different dates...
