  • Robert Frederick Hoke (May 27, 1837 – July 3, 1912) was a Confederate major general during the American Civil War, present at one of the earliest battles, Big Bethel, where he was commended for coolness and judgment. Wounded at Chancellorsville, he recovered in time for the defence of Petersburg and Richmond, when his brigade distinguished itself at Cold Harbour (June 1864), acknowledged by Grant as his most costly defeat. Hoke was later a businessman and railroad executive.
