Winfield Scott Hancock (1824-1886) was a career United States Army officer who served with distinction during the Civil War, earning the nickname "Hancock the Superb" for his leadership and composure under fire. He played a pivotal role at the Battle of Gettysburg, where he commanded Union forces on Cemetery Ridge during Pickett's Charge. Following the war, Hancock remained in the Army and, in 1880, was the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, narrowly losing the election to James A. Garfield.
