[hughes]

Johnny Reynolds.
Three

 

[Mark F. Jenkins]

I'm betting on Dan Sickles. All put up by himself.

 

[Reb]

Major General John Reynolds. I believe the number would be four.
There are three monuments to General Reynolds on the Gettysburg battlefield and his statue is on the State of Pennsylvania monument, a sign of the respect and affection he had earned.

An equestrian monument is west of Gettysburg on Chambersburg Pike (U.S. 30) (39.837899° N, 77.251284° W; Tour map: Stone and Meredith Avenues; Google maps to all three monuments)

A monument marks the site where General Reynolds was mortally wounded on South Reynolds Avenue just north of Meredith Avenue. (39.834392° N, 77.250954° W; Tour map: South Reynolds Avenue)

The earliest of the Reynolds monuments to be erected and one of the first at Gettysburg is southeast of town in the National Cemetery. (39.8213° N, 77.23033° W; Tour map: National Cemetery)

 

[Copperhead-mi]

John F. Reynolds. Three

 

[Brenal]

I'm guessing here but I'll go for John Fulton Reynolds who has three individual monuments plus a named statue on the Pennsylvania State Monument.

 

[Wallyfish]

This must be Major General John Fulton Reynolds. He has 3 monuments solely to him and a statue he shares with others on the Pa Monument. So he has been memorialized 4 times at Gettysburg.

He has 3 monuments to him, One is on Route 30 (Chambersburg Pike), another is nearby marking the spot where he fell, and the third is in the National Cemetery. He also has a statue on the Pennsylvania Monument.

 

[captaindrew]

Not 100% sure about this because I know there are a lot of Gettysburg experts on here but looking at the monument list I`m going with General John Reynolds with 3 monuments.

 

[DBF]

Who is he: Union Major General John Reynolds
How Many: 3

This is my best educated guess as time is short today.

 

[Buckeye Bill]

Federal Major General John F. Reynolds (3 Solo and 1 on the Pennsylvania Monument).

 

[truthckr]

A guess,,,Reynolds

Edit - You guessed the right guy, but you also needed to guess the number of monuments.

My guess is Major General John Reynolds. Reynolds has two statues, 1 marker, plus 1 statue on the Pennsylvania Monument, that makes four all in all.

I'm not at Facebook, but while I googled for a reply I found a Facebook statement by Loyaltyofdogs that says:
"Reynolds is second only to Lincoln in the number of memorials to a single individual at Gettysburg. Reynolds has three: the equestrian ..."

So I think Reynolds will be right

 

[Jimklag]

As a favorite son of Pennsylvania and one of the battle's most famous casualties, I would guess John F. Reynolds. As for how many, I know of three for sure.

Ulysses S. Grant?

Edit - Sorry, CWCat, Grant did not participate in the Battle of Gettysburg and I am not aware of any monuments at that battlefield that bear his name.

Welcome to the trivia game, anyway. Hope you'll come back and play again.

John F. Reynolds Three Monuments
Major General John F. Reynolds was the highest ranking officer killed at the Battle of Gettysburg and is one of the most senior officers to die in the Civil War. His decision to commit his infantry west of Gettysburg set the course of the fighting, but his death early in the battle was a serious blow to the Union Army.

There are three monuments to General Reynolds on the Gettysburg battlefield and his statue is on the State of Pennsylvania monument, a sign of the respect and affection he had earned.

There is also a statue of General Reynolds, a native of Pennsylvania, on the State of Pennsylvania monument.

 

[Schwallanscher]

it needs to be john f reynolds with four monuments - 1) equestrian, 2) standing (cemetry), 3) where he (presumably) fell and 4) the pa-pavillon)

 

[Rob9641]

My best guesses -

Reynolds - 3. One on Chambersburg Pike, one in the Cemetery, and the PA Memorial. No citation - I just think it's correct because I volunteer there and that's my best memory.

UNLESS - you count Armistead, who's name is at the marker where he fell, on the High Water Mark monument, and on the Masonic Memorial in the Cemetery Annex.

 

[MC44]

John Reynolds. 3 Monuments and his statue is on a 4th.

[adisciu9]

Reynolds with 4.

[Jackson'sArm]

I'm going with Winfield Scott Hancock, with three.

Edit - As far as I can find, the three monuments bearing Hancock's name include the Pennsylvania Memorial. If that one is counted for Hancock, then it must also be counted for Reynolds, and that would give Reynolds four, one more than Hancock.
