Yes - though he was actually G.G. (George Gordon) Meade.
Joe Hooker was fired a few weeks after his terrible defeat at Chancellorsville, and replaced by Meade. It was only a few days before Gettysburg, and this victory went to Meade's eternal credit.
He continued to command the Army of the Potomac till the end of the war, although his chief, U.S. Grant, travelled alongside him in a mobile HQ.
Some say Meade, not Grant, should have taken the surrender of Lee at Appomattox.
