General Hancock (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Winfield Scott Hancock (1824-1886) led Union troops into the Battle of Gettysburg.

The author, who served under him during the Civil War, focuses this 1895 life story on Hancock’s leadership at Williamsburg, Antietam, and elsewhere, adding a chapter on the general’s life after the war, including his run for the Presidency in 1880.
