Deutsch: Winfield Scott Hancock (* 14. Februar 1824 in Montgomery Square, Pennsylvania; † 9. Februar 1886 auf Governors Island, New York City) war ein General der Unionsarmee im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Benannt wurde er nach dem berühmten General Winfield Scott.
English: Winfield Scott Hancock ( February 14, 1824 – February 9, 1886) was a career U.S. Army officer who served with distinction as a Union general in the American Civil War, noted in particular for his personal leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. A military historian wrote, "No other Union general at Gettysburg dominated men by the sheer force of their presence more completely than Hancock."[1] Hancock ran unsuccessfully for President of the United States in 1880. He was known to Army colleagues as "Hancock the Superb."[2]
