Gouverneur K. Warren Monument – 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg Then & Now

Quick Facts

Location:

This photograph was taken in Little Round Top.

General Gouverneur Kemble Warren was Chief Engineer of the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Gettysburg. His monument stands on a large boulder at the summit of Little Round Top. Warren recognized how valuable Little Round Top was for the Union Army’s line on Cemetery Ridge, and discovering it unoccupied, directed Colonel Strong Vincent’s brigade to the hill’s defense followed later by General Stephen Weed’s brigade. Warren’s leadership in moving troops to this place proved critical for the Union army.
