What was Joseph E Hooker's middle name?

Major General Joseph Hooker did not have a middle name but was given the nickname "Fighting Joe" by accident in newspaper "when the hyphen was omitted", newspaper readers loved the nickname and it stuck. Mostly because of his known fighting ability for the Union. At first Hooker himself did not like that nickname, yet through time he liked it more. * In response to the question... "might have been confused with General Joseph (Eggleston) Johnson, whom was harshly branded the nickname "Retreating Joe" because he lacked aggressiveness during the Civil War loosing more casualties than he took "to which could've prolonged the Confederacy's existence', opposite position of the above Joseph."

General Joseph Hooker nickname?

Joseph Hooker was a General in the Union Army during the Civil War. Joseph Hooker was brave soldier, and a knowledgeable military leader, but he was a very immoral man. Joseph Hooker was born on November 13th, 1814 in Hadley, Massachusetts to Joseph and Mary Hooker. Joseph had three older sisters and was the youngest of four. He started school at a local school called Hopkins Academy, and following in his father's footsteps, graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1837 at the age of 23. After he graduated, he immediately began his service when he was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1st U.S. Artillery during the second of the Seminole Wars, and the Mexican-American War. He served his first term in the United States Army from 1837-1853. His second commission lasted from 1859-1868, during the Civil War. In 1861 Hooker was promoted to Brigadier General of the Union Army. He proved himself very useful on the battlefield, which earned him the nickname 'Fighting Joe Hooker'. In 1862, Hooker led the troops into, and successfully out of battles, such as the Battles of Williamsburg, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. However, the Battle of Chancellorsville was his undoing. At Chancellorsville in 1863, Hooker was planning on cutting off supplies for the confederate army, and surround the opposing troops. Nevertheless, General Hooker's plan backfired completely. The Union Army lost the battle entirely to General Robert E. Lee. In 1868, Hooker was relieved of duty. Although Joseph Hooker was a phenomenal military leader, he had the reputation for being both a drunken fool who spent most of his time gambling and fighting, and was known to be quite the ladies man. So much so, that there are many legends linking him to the popular nickname for a prostitute, or a 'hooker'. General Joseph Hooker suffered a stroke, and died on October 31,1879 and was buried in Cincinnati, Ohio. He will always be known as a wonderful military leader and a hero.
