As a Reb, I like Hancock, but nobody holds a candle to Chamberlain.

Agreed. If there was a hero at Gettysburg, Chamberlain was the one. Hancock, certainly a most able and great commander, merely needed to mow down the Rebel advance at the middle. What Chamberlain accomplished at the flank helped force Lee to make the last-day blunder. A read of Chamberlain's life story is simply astounding.

Chamberlain is one one favorite American hero's. Reynolds though I think was one of the most promising Generals of the Union. But he was killed early in the Gettysburg battle.
