Brigadier General Gouverneur Kemble Warren (January 8, 1830 – August 8, 1882) was a civil engineer and Union Army general during the American Civil War. He was Chief Engineer of the Union’s Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Gettysburg. His bronze statue stands atop the boulder on which he is said to have stood and surveyed the battlefield during the decisive battle of Little Round Top. It was created by Karl Gerhardt (1853–1940) and dedicated in 1888.
