Jacob Hoke (March 17, 1825 - December 26, 1893) was a 19th-century American merchant and businessman in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, whose personal observations and diary entries formed the basis for one of the earliest classic accounts of the Gettysburg Campaign during the American Civil War. He was also a prolific writer of widely circulated religious materials for the United Brethren Church. Hoke was born in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, to Henry and Sarah (Eyster) Hoke. He was educated in the local schools and, from the age of twelve until May 1841, clerked in a country store. He moved to Chambersburg, where he engaged in a series of business ventures that led to enough capital to open his own dry goods store on Chambersburg's town square. During the early part of the Civil War, he assisted in caring for the wounded from the Battle of Antietam in the autumn of 1862. Hoke lived on the second floor above his shop. As the Confederate Army began invading the town in late June 1863, he had an excellent vantage point to observe and watch the movements of the Southern soldiers. For the next two weeks, Confederates occupied the town, and much of the Army of Northern Virginia passed within view of Hoke. In the summer of 1864, he again was in a position to witness the Civil War in his home town when much of Chambersburg was burned by Confederate cavalry under John McCausland operating under the orders of Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early. In 1884, Hoke integrated his memories, notes, observations, and outside sources into a pamphlet he entitled "Reminiscences of the War." Three years later, he produced a larger, more detailed work, The Great Invasion of 1863, or, General Lee in Pennsylvania. Published in Dayton, Ohio, the book has become a standard reference work for a first-hand account of the two Confederate incursions into south-central Pennsylvania.

This author visited both armies in their camps and in their hospitals, examined the battlefields and questioned the officers. His motive was patriotic and, in the end, nonpartisan, for he viewed the events at Gettysburg as part of a historic design that transcended sectional strife. Thus, although writing from what was essentially a Unionist standpoint, he consciously strove to avoid partiality in his account. He preserved all the important papers and documents relating to Gettysburg which came into his hands, noted all the facts and incidents, and corresponded with Federal and Confederate officers who were in a position to impart information. In addition, he also had access to the papers of Federal and Confederate writers whose works, he felt, could shed some light on behind-the-line activities in both camps.
