Trivia 5-9-17

[JOHN42768]

I am torn between Gen. John F. Reynolds with five ( McPherson Ridge, National Cemetery, Herbst Woods, Penn. State & Battery L 1st NY) or Col. Hiram Berdan with four (possibly more) N.H. ,Wisconsin, NY S.S. Berdan Ave & NYS Aux 1 Hancock Ave.. There are so many other S.S. monuments, as to if Berdan is on them , don't know. Going with Gen. John Reynolds (5)

Edit - The monument to Battery L 1st NY is located on Reynolds Avenue, which is named after John Reynolds, and it does bear the name of Reynolds. However, the name on the monument actually refers to Capt. Gilbert Reynolds, the commander of the battery, so it is not a monument to John Reynolds.

However, since you are the only player who recognized that Hiram Berdan has as many as four monuments on the battlefield and the inclusion of the Battery L monument enabled you to decide that John Reynolds has the most monuments, I'll give you credit for your answer of five.

John F. Reynolds
Five

General Reynolds has four different bronze monuments at Gettysburg as well as a granite monument.

The four bronze monuments are:
1. The bronze portrait statue located in the National Cemetery. (sculptor J.Q.A. Ward, our featured monument)
2. The bronze equestrian located along the Chambersburg Pike. (sculptor H.K. Bush-Brown)
3. The bronze circular bas-relief "the death of Reynolds" located on the New York State Monument in the National Cemetery. (sculptor Caspar Buberl)
4. The bronze portrait statue on the Pennsylvania State Memorial. (sculptor Lee Lawrie)

The granite monument located in "Reynolds Woods" marks the approx. location of Reynolds death on July 1st, 1863.

Edit - The Stone Sentinels website indicates that you are correct in stating that the death of Reynolds is depicted on the New York State monument. It doesn't specifically indicate that Reynolds' name actually appears on the monument, so I'm not sure whether anybody who actually went and looked at the monument would know that the scene in question depicts Reynolds, but since it's supported on the Internet, it's an acceptable answer.

Gen John F Reynolds - three monuments memorialize him on the battlefield and his statue is on the State of Pennsylvania monument (so a total of four?) http://gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/monuments-to-individuals/john-reynolds/

I'm guessing John Reynolds with 3 plus his statue is on the Pennsylvania Monument.

General John F. Reynolds? He has four different bronze monuments and one granite monument at Gettysburg.

Major General John F. Reynolds has three monuments at Gettysburg.

 

[amweiner]

This was a good, hard question...Google and I may need to ignore each other for awhile.

The best guess I can make is John F. Reynolds, who has three monuments on the battlefield plus a statue on the State of Pennsylvania monument.

Thanks for a great stumper!

General John Fulton Reynolds. He has 3 monuments and his statue is on the State of Pennslyvania Monument.

I have had a chance to go back to look at this question and it asks for monuments bearing his name and I thought at first it was just individual monuments to him. Therefore I am adding 1 more monument - the Pennsylvania State Memorial as PA natives are honored - so that would be 3 individual and 1 group - 4. (same reference)
The Equestrian Statue - the John Reynolds Statue - The marker where he was killed. - The Pennsylvania State Memorial Statue where he is on the north side.

 

[GELongstreet]

Probably John F. Reynolds with 3 monuments (non-equestrian statue, equestrian statue, position/killed marker)?

 

[hoosier]

I'm guessing the answer to this is John Reynolds, whose name appears on four monuments. In addition to being on the Pennsylvania Monument, he is represented by an equestrian statue on McPherson Ridge, a standalone statue in the National Cemetery, and a marker in Herbst Woods indicating the site where he received his mortal wound, so that's a total of four monuments.

General John Reynolds, 4.

Edit - No details were supplied with the official correct answer, so I don't know which four specific monuments the questioner had in mind.

The question "how many monuments does he (John Reynolds) have there (at Gettysburg)?" is open to more than one interpretation.

It could be interpreted as being limited only to monuments exclusively devoted to Reynolds. Under that interpretation, the correct answer is three.

It could be interpreted as including the statue of Reynolds that appears on the Pennsylvania Memorial, even though that monument is not exclusively devoted to Reynolds. Under that interpretation, the correct answer is four.

It could be interpreted as including all of the above four plus the New York State monument in the National Cemetery, which includes a bronze rendering of the scene of Reynolds' death. Under that interpretation, the correct answer is five.

I will accept all three of those answers.
