During my college years I spent a lot of time in the Tulane University Library in New Orleans researching the Civil War.
While working on a paper I came across some Letters, Documents
and Papers about Winfield Scott Hancock. I was very impressed with his leadership and what others said of him that I named my first born son after him. General Grant once said of him that he did not make a mistake on the battlefield that he was aware of. That is a very impressive statement.
Interesting history....
Someone told me several years ago that she had chanced upon his grave site in Norristown, PA and that it had been overgrown with weeds and thoroughly neglected. Very few people here have probably even heard of him.
Oops. Apparently someone else found the grave and cleaned it up. Here's a link to the picture: http://philanet.com/hancock/
