	Joseph Hooker - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOSEPH HOOKER (1814-1879), American general, was born in Hadley, Massachusetts, on the 13th of November 1814.
		Even then Hooker followed the Confederates a day only behind them, until, finding himself distrusted and forbidden to control the movements of troops within the sphere of operations, he resigned the command on the eve of the battle (June 28, 1863).
		Hooker, who, though only a corps commander, was senior to the other army commanders, Thomas and Schofield, was normally entitled to receive it, but General Sherman feared to commit a whole army to the guidance of a man of Hooker's peculiar temperament, and the place was given to Howard.

	Book Corner - Joseph Hooker
		Joseph Hooker was blest with many of the essential gifts a scientist needs, but one helped to make him pre-eminent in his field.
		Joseph's first opportunity came when, through his father's good offices, he was offered the opportunity to join Capt. (later Sir) James Clark Ross's famous four-year voyage to the Antarctic, exploring and mapping the icecap in HMSS Erebus and Terror.
		The connecting strand is that of the visual effect on the reader of the countless small pictures, some in pencil, many in water colour, made by Joseph in the field in his little notebook, which he managed to have always ready while weighed down by barometers and thermometers, and theodolites and vasculums full of plants.

		Hooker led his corps (now designated the XX Corps) competently in the 1864 Atlanta Campaign under Sherman, but asked to be relieved before the capture of the city because of his dissatisfaction with the promotion of another general (Oliver O. Howard) who had less seniority.
		Despite Hooker's reputation as a hard-drinking ladies' man, there is no basis for the popular legend that the slang term for prostitutes came from his last name because of parties and a lack of military discipline at his headquarters.

		In January 1863, Hooker was assigned by Abraham Lincoln to the command of the Army of the Potomac.

		In deference to Lincoln's lack of confidence in him and the pressure of public opinion in the North, Hooker resigned his command of the Army of the Potomac the following July and was given command of the XI and XII Corps.
