Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei whitianga - Ko ngā whara o Hancock i hiahiatia ai te kore o te maha o ngā marama. I whakanohoia a William Hays hei rangatira mo te ope taua i muri tonu i te pakanga o Gettysburg, i mau tonu te whakahau tae noa ki te Akuhata 12, i te wa i tukuna ai ia e te Major General Gouverneur K. Warren. I wehewehe a Warren i a ia i Gettysburg na te tere o tana maarama ki te ahuatanga kino i Little Round Top, me te tere o te kaha i whakaotihia ai e ia te raru. I hanga ano e ia he ingoa nui i roto i te V Corps, me te rangatira rangatira o te ope o te Potomac. I muri mai, ko ia te rangatira i te Pakanga o Bristoe Station, he kaupapa II Corps, a ko tetahi i kitea mo te dash i whawhai ai nga rangatira me nga tangata, me te kaha nui i whakaatuhia e Warren ano. I whakahau hoki ia i te Pakanga o Mine Run
me Morton's Ford, ko nga wehenga i taua wa kei raro i nga General Caldwell, Alexander S. Webb me Alexander Hays.
