Opening lines of Richard III. Great play, and great play on words.

Chase, I never really considered Meade a great general in the same way that I never gave credit for the rebel victory at Saratoga to Gates, not Arnold.

Same with Hancock, Buford, Zook, Stannard and other great field commanders who were at the right place at the right time.

I think you have to give the Yanks credit for staying on the field, instead of riding around the periphery trying to get their names in the Northern papers and such.

When I think of Winfield Scott Hancock, I think of a Union general as good as any field commander ever put up by the South. As good a man as ol Bobby Lee.

If you ever read that book by Glenn Tucker, Hancock the Superb, the poor guy went broke entertaining digntitaries at the orders of the govt. Which is better than being killed on the field I guess.
