Led to this spot by is military sagacity on July 2nd 1863, General
Gourverneur Kemble Warren, then Chief Engineer of the Army of the
Potomac detected General Hood's flanking movement, and by promptly
assuming the responsibility of ordering troops to this place saved
the key of the Union's position.
Promoted for gallant services from the command of a Regiment in
1861, through successive grades to the command of the 2nd Army Corps
in 1863, and permanently assigned to that of the 5th Army Corps in
1864, Major General Warren needs no eulogy. His name is enshrined in
the hearts of his countrymen.
This statue is erected under the auspices of the Veteran
Organization of his old Regiment, the 5th New York Vols. Duryee
Zouaves in memory of their beloved commander.
Dedicated August 8th, 1888 .
