Hancock The Superb by Glenn Tucker was originally published by Bobbs Merrill in 1960. It is the life story of Civil War General Winfield Scott Hancock. In the early fighting on the Peninsula, McClellan reported "Hancock was superb". Before long, people began referring to him as that and he earned it over the next 3 years. The book was well researched and detailed. It highlights some of Hancock's work with Grant at Spotsylvania and in The Wilderness which the author feels is some of the most fascinating of Hancock's career and makes a good case for his "superb" ranking. Maps, vintage photos and illustrations highlight the text.
