Gouverneur K. Warren
Little Round Top
Battle of Gettysburg Pennsylvania
July 2nd, 1863
Chief Topographical Engineer Gouvernour Kimble Warren along with Washington A. Roebling survey the situation from the summit of Little Round Top only moments before a massive Confederate assault on the Union Army position occupying Cemetery Ridge. When Warren found that only a handful of men from the Signal Corps occupied the hill, he immediately ordered Roebling to find the nearest brigade of soldiers to occupy and secure the otherwise empty hill. Colonel Strong Vincent of the V Corps quickly responded to Warren's call and occupied the boulder strewn hill with four Federal regiments just moments before the arrival of Confederate forces.. Because of General Warren's quick actions, the ensuing battle for Little Round Top would not only decided the fate of the Federal Army; but also became a defining chapter in the history of the battle of Gettysburg and the survival of the United States itself.
