 One military historian wrote, "No other Union general at Gettysburg dominated men by the sheer force of their presence more completely than Hancock."
 As another wrote, "his tactical skill had won him the quick admiration of adversaries who had come to know him as the 'Thunderbolt of the Army of the Potomac'."

 Many black Union soldiers either came from St. Augustine, or settled there after the war, providing a leadership cadre for the community known as Lincolnville that was established in 1866.
