Interesting Fact(s): McCook is the younger brother of Major General Alexander McD. McCook. Immediately prior to the Civil War, he would become a law partner with William Sherman, and Thomas Ewing - both of which would become Union generals. The younger McCook was a brave leader, and would be mortally wounded, attempting to take the Rebel works on Kennesaw Mountain, during the Atlanta Campaign.
