Owner's Description

While Hancock is no longer as well remembered as many of the other Civil War generals, he played an extremely important role, particularly on the third day of Gettysburg. Post-war, he ran for President and was narrowly defeated by James Garfield. This was the only presidential election where two Civil War veterans ran against each other. Picked up at Heritage and the cataloger didn't notice it was a radar. Hard to find radars on these large type notes.
