	Winfield Scott Hancock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hancock was born in Montgomery Square, Pennsylvania, one of twin brothers, and named after the famous general Winfield Scott.
		Hancock returned east to assume quartermaster duties for the rapidly growing Union army, but was quickly promoted to brigadier general and given an infantry brigade to command in the Army of the Potomac.
		Hancock thus was in temporary command of the "left wing" of the army, consisting of the I, II, III, and XI Corps, which demonstrated Meade's high confidence in him, because Hancock was not the most senior Union officer at Gettysburg at the time.
