General Winfield Scott Hancock was perhaps the most influential
officer in the federal lines, though he commanded only one of seven
Union corps at Gettysburg. On day one, he rallied fleeing troops
and placed them in the formidable position the Union army occupied
for the remainder of the battle. In a frantic few minutes on day
two, he masterfully conducted reinforcements into a yawning gap in
his defensive line, securing the position just moments before the
Confederates advanced to try to take it. On the third day, he led
the successful defense against the massive frontal assault known as
Pickett's Charge. Understanding Hancock's pivotal actions at
Gettysburg is essential to understanding the battle itself. This
book covers his life and military career and considers the personal
qualities that made him a preeminent figure in the greatest battle
of the Civil War.
