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."
