| General Hancock In The Eyes Of His Contemporaries |
| President Abraham Lincoln And The Lincoln Administration |

 |
| "When I go down in the morning to open my mail, I declare that I do it in fear and trembling lest I may hear that Hancock has been killed or wounded." |
| "Some of the older generals have said to me that he (Hancock) is rash, and I have said to them that I have watched General Hancock's conduct very carefully, and I have found that when he goes into action he achieves his purpose and comes out with a smaller list of casualties than any of them. If his life and strength be spared, I believe that General Hancock is destined to be one of the most distinguished men of the age." |
