Known to his Army colleagues as Hancock the Superb,[1] he was noted in particular for his personal leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. One military historian wrote, No other Union general at Gettysburg dominated men by the sheer force of their presence more completely than Hancock.[2] As another wrote, his tactical skill had won him the quick admiration of adversaries who had come to know him as the Thunderbolt of the Army of the Potomac.[3] :-) Send a brigade, send Carroll.
