Known as “Hancock the Superb,” the commander of 2nd Corps of the Army of the Potomac and was, more than any other commander, responsible for the Union victory at Gettysburg. It was General Hancock who devised the unique Union “fishhook” line that proved so successful at Gettysburg and it was his 2nd Corps that bore the brunt of the final Confederate charge along Cemetery Ridge known as “Pickett’s Charge.” For his heroic actions throughout the battle of Gettysburg Hancock received the thanks of Congress for "... his gallant, meritorious and conspicuous share in that great and decisive victory."
