Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Winfield Scott Hancock While it is impossible, in the brief space of a pamphlet sketch, to do justice to such a subject as the life of Major-General Hancock, it is hoped by the writer that the present effort will at least place him favorably before those who peruse it. Very slight examination of its pages will show that, in each of the important stations which he has filled, General Hancock has - as a distinguished brother general has expressed it - improved upon his position. Meanwhile, he is in the prime of life and of his faculties, and it may well be that he shall yet give even more valuable service to his country than during the past of his most eventful career. Part I. The Boy - The Cadet - The Soldier. War, the most destructive, is also the most beneficent of forces. It annihilates to recreate. It opens the way for new men and endows them with new powers. Besides soldiers, it brings poets, lawgivers, and statesmen to the surface. It gave to America a Washington and a Lincoln; and finally, to its solemn influence we owe two men, bearing the same name, divided by a century of time, whose meaning and purpose in our history are best signified by the two words - construction and reconstruction. Birth And Ancestry. Winfield Scott Hancock, the hero of this story, was born February 14 (St. Valentine's day), in the year 1824, in a small village of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, called Montgomery Square, twelve miles east of Norristown, and between that village and Doylestown, the county seat of Bucks. Of the early ancestry of Hancock we know little. Attempts are being made at present beyond the ocean to trace this to the earliest times. Back as far as the year 1400, the family is found, spelling its name variously, and occupying the position of merchant traders between Bristol, England, and various parts of Ireland. The connection between the Pennsylvania branch of the family and John Hancock, of Massachusetts Bay, is not defined. As the name is not, however, a common one, it is not unreasonable to suppose that some remote relationship united all branches of the family. But it is with the Pennsylvania branch that we have now to do, and before this narrative shall be concluded, it will perhaps be shown that our hero might well be esteemed the first of his family, by reason of the many noble qualifications and estimable qualities he has displayed, and for the rounded perfection of a nature seldom equaled in excellence and majesty. Yet there was not wanting opportunity for the inheritance of the characteristics which have gone to the making up of General Hancock's character. His father, Benjamin F. Hancock, of Norristown, was a teacher in high repute, who always interested himself in the progress of education; later, a lawyer of standing and position, recognized as a man of much capacity and broad views; and at all times a gentleman of perfect integrity and high intelligence. The grandfather of General Hancock was a mariner who, when quite young, was with others captured at sea by the British, and for some time incarcerated in one of the English prisons. General Hancock's mother, Elizabeth Hawksworth, was a prudent. Christian woman, whose father was a Revolutionary soldier, whose uncle was an officer in the War of 1812, and whose grandfather was a soldier in the old French and Indian War, and captain in the American patriotic army, who died in camp in 1777. Thus it will be seen that the stock was good, and the blood true blue. The section of country inhabited by the Hancocks and the Hawksworths for more than a century, is not only one of the most beautiful parts of Pennsylvania, but it is a region teeming with historic memories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a war of brother versus brother, theirs has become the most famous broken friendship: Union general Winfield Scott Hancock and Confederate general Lewis Armistead. Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels (1974) and the movie Gettysburg (1993), based on the novel, presented a close friendship sundered by war, but history reveals something different from the legend that holds up Hancock and Armistead as sentimental symbols of a nation torn apart. In this deeply researched book, Tom McMillan sets the record straight. Even if their relationship wasn’t as close as the legend has it, Hancock and Armistead knew each other well before the Civil War. Armistead was seven years older, but in a small prewar army where everyone seemed to know everyone else, Hancock and Armistead crossed paths at a fort in Indian Territory before the Mexican War and then served together in California, becoming friends—and they emotionally parted ways when the Civil War broke out. Their lives wouldn’t intersect again until Gettysburg, when they faced each other during Pickett’s Charge. Armistead died of his wounds at Gettysburg on July 5, 1863; Hancock went on to be the Democratic nominee for president in 1880, losing to James Garfield. Part dual biography and part Civil War history, Armistead and Hancock: Behind the Gettysburg Legend clarifies the historic record with new information and fresh perspective, reversing decades of misconceptions about an amazing story of two friends that has defined the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many soldiers who served in the American Civil War found solace in their faith during the most trying times of the war. But few soldiers took such a providential view of life and the Civil War as Charles Henry Howard. Born in a small town in Maine, Howard came from a family with a distinguished history of soldiering: his grandfather was a Revolutionary War veteran and his brother, the older and more well-known Oliver Otis Howard, attended West Point and rose to command an army in the Civil War. Following in his brother’s footsteps, Charles Henry Howard graduated from Bowdoin College in 1859. Following graduation, Charles visited his older brother at West Point during the tumultuous election of 1860. While at West Point, Howard saw the tensions between Northern and Southern cadets escalate as he weighed his options for a military or theological career. The choice was made for him on April 12, 1861, with the firing on Fort Sumter. Responding to his brother’s plea for the sons of Maine to join the Union cause, Charles found himself a noncommissioned officer fighting in the disastrous Battle of First Bull Run. All told, Howard fought in several major battles of the Eastern Theater, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, and went on to participate in various military actions in the Western Theater including Sherman’s bloody Atlanta Campaign. He was wounded twice, first at the Battle of Fair Oaks and again at Fredericksburg. Yet, despite facing the worst horrors of war, Howard rarely wavered in his faith and rose steadily in rank throughout the conflict. By war’s end, he was a brevet brigadier general in command of the 128th U.S. Colored Troop Regiment. Howard’s letters cover a wide-ranging period, from 1852 to 1908. His concern for his family is typical of a Civil War soldier, but his exceptionally firm reliance on divine providence is what makes these letters an extraordinary window into the mind of a Civil War officer. Howard’s grounded faith was often tested by the viciousness of war, and as a result his letters are rife with stirring confessions and his emotional grappling with the harsh realities he faced. Howard’s letters expose the greater theological and metaphysical dilemmas of the war faced by so many on both sides.
