Where I did see him, at Chattanooga, his achievement in bringing his command around the point of Lookout Mountain and into Chattanooga Valley was brilliant.

I nevertheless regarded him as a dangerous man.

He was not subordinate to his superiors.

He was ambitious to the extent of caring nothing for the rights of others.

His disposition was, when engaged in battle, to get detached from the main body of the army and exercise a separate command, gathering to his standard all he could of his juniors.
Hancock stands the most conspicuous figure of all the general officers who did not exercise a separate command.
