Is there any Hancock biographies out there that talk in detail about Hancock's battles during the civil war and so on.

Joshua,

I'm sure there are some, try in Google

Try David Jordan's excellent biography, Winfield Scott Hancock: A Soldier's Life. I also found this on Google: Great Commanders: General Hancock. The latter is an entirely digitized book -- about 300 pages -- originally published in 1894, and has three chapters on Gettysburg alone. It is written in the style of the late 19th century, so you may find it a bit tedious.

I'd be careful about this one. It looks to have been written in time for Hancock's 1880 presidential bid (and conveniently contains a biography of Hancock's running mate, William Hayden English). We all know how "accurate" campaign biographies can be, right?

You might also find Hancock's report from the Battle of Gettysburg interesting.

Great read Mr Spkr.
