  • Gouverneur Kemble Warren (January 8, 1830 – August 8, 1882) was a civil engineer and prominent general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He is best remembered for arranging the last-minute defense of Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg and is often referred to as the "Hero of Little Round Top. " His subsequent service as a corps commander and his remaining military career were ruined during the Battle of Five Forks, when he was relieved of command by Philip Sheridan.
  • Gouverneur Kemble Warren war General der United States Army. Warren besuchte die US-Militärakademie West Point und schloss sie 1850 als einer der Besten seines Jahrgangs ab, woraufhin er Offizier im Pionierkorps der United States Army wurde. Bei Ausbruch des Amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs wurde er Oberstleutnant, bald darauf Kommandeur des 5. New York Infanterieregiments, mit dem er bei Big Bethel und vor Yorktown kämpfte, bevor er eine Brigade im V. Korps übernahm, an deren Spitze er in der Schlacht von Gaines Mill verwundet wurde. Nachdem er sich in der Schlacht am Malvern Hill und der zweiten Schlacht am Bull Run weiter ausgezeichnet hatte, wurde er zum Brigadegeneral der Freiwilligen befördert. Er behielt das Kommando über die Brigade, bevor er als Pionieroffizier zum Stab der Potomac-Armee wechselte. Während der Schlacht von Gettysburg bekleidete er, inzwischen zum Generalmajor befördert, das Amt des Pionierkommandeurs der Potomac-Armee und erkannte als erster die Bedeutung des Little Round Top für die linke Flanke der Armee und leitete die ersten Maßnahmen zur Verteidigung des Hügels ein. Nach der Schlacht übernahm er den Befehl über das II. Korps, 1864 das V. , das er während Grants „Überland-Feldzugs“ und während der Belagerung von Petersburg führte. Im Frühjahr 1865 gehörte Warrens Korps zu Sheridans Streitmacht während des Appomattox-Feldzugs. Sheridan war jedoch mit Warrens Leistung unzufrieden und entließ ihn nach der Schlacht bei Five Forks. Erst nach seinem Tod wurde er von einem Untersuchungsausschuss rehabilitiert. Nach dem Krieg diente Warren weiter bei den Pionieren und als Ingenieur beim Brückenbau. Er starb am 8. August 1882 in Newport, Rhode Island.
  • Gouverneur Kemble Warren est un ingénieur civil et un général dans l'Armée de l'Union lors de la guerre de Sécession. Il est surtout connu pour avoir organisé, à la dernière minute, la défense de Little Round Top pendant la bataille de Gettysburg et il est souvent appelé le « héros de Little Round Top ». Ses années de service en tant que commandant de corps et sa carrière militaire ont été ensuite réduites à néant après la bataille de Five Forks, quand Philip Sheridan le releva de son commandement, de façon injustifiée.
  • Warren si diplomò nell'Accademia Militare degli Stati Uniti nel 1850, conseguendo i gradi di sottotenente (second lieutenant) nel Corpo del Genio Topografico. Negli anni precedenti alla Guerra di secessione americana lavorò sul fiume Mississippi, per il rilevamento ferroviario transcontinentale, e mappò la parte occidentale del Trans-Mississippi. Allo scoppio della guerra ricevette un brevetto da Tenente Colonnello dei Volontari del 5° Reggimento dei Volontari di Fanteria di New York e più avanti fu promosso Colonnello e comandante di Reggimento. Il suo Reggimento combatté nella battaglia di Big Bethel. Comandò una Brigata (3^ Brigata, 2^ Divisione, V Corpo) nella battaglia di Yorktown e fu ferito a un ginocchio nella battaglia di Gaines' Mill. Nella battaglia di Malvern Hill la sua Brigata bloccò l'attacco di una Divisione confederata mentre nella Seconda Bull Run/Seconda Manassas, la Brigata soffrì circa il 50% di perdite. Promosso generale di brigata nel settembre 1862, servì come Comandante del Genio Topografico e quindi come Comandante del Genio Militare nell'Armata del Potomac. Il secondo giorno della battaglia di Gettysburg, 2 luglio 1863, Warren organizzò la difesa del Little Round Top, avvedendosi dell'importanza di quella posizione indifesa e indirizzando, di sua propria iniziativa, la Brigata del Colonnello Strong Vincent ad occuparla, proprio pochi minuti che essa fosse aggredita. Warren ricevette una ferita non grave al collo durante l'assalto confederato. Promosso al grado di maggior generale dopo Gettysburg, comandò il II Corpo dall'agosto 1863 al marzo 1864, quando assunse il comando del V Corpo. Guidò il V Corpo durante la Campagna Terrestre, l'assedio di Petersburg e la Campagna di Appomattox. Nella Battaglia di Five Forks (delle Cinque Strade) nell'aprile 1865, il maggior generale Philip Sheridan lo sollevò dal comando per una sua azione contro le trincee sudiste che a Sheridan apparve troppo lenta. Una Corte d'inchiesta più tardi lo assolverà da ogni accusa di negligenza, ma tale assoluzione intervenne quando Warren era ormai deceduto. Warren servì nel Corpo del Genio dopo la guerra, assegnato lungo il fiume Mississippi. Morì a Newport, Rhode Island e fu sepolto lì, a sua richiesta, in abiti civili e senza le decorazioni militari.

  • I was so much dissatisfied with Warren’s dilatory movements in the battle of White Oak Road and in his failure to reach Sheridan in time, that I was very much afraid that at the last moment he would fail Sheridan. He was a man of fine intelligence, great earnestness, quick perception, and could make his dispositions as quickly as any officer, under difficulties where he was forced to act. But I had before discovered a defect which was beyond his control, that was very prejudicial to his usefulness in emergencies like the one just before us. He could see every danger at a glance before he had encountered it. He would not only make preparations to meet the danger which might occur, but he would inform his commanding officer what others should do while he was executing his move.
