Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade (1815-1872)

            Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade (1815-1872), nicknamed the "Old Snapping Turtle," is most famous for commanding the Union Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Gettysburg. He commanded the V Corps during the Battle of Fredericksburg and replaced Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker as commander of the army. His star faded after Gettysburg, however, as General Ulysses S. Grant personally directed operations in the Eastern Theater. He made Philadelphia his home and died of pneumonia brought on by his old war wounds.
