November 2024
Dr. Mitchell G. Klingenberg gave a program titled: “Reynolds of Gettysburg: History, Legend, and Myth.”
Remembered for his last command at Gettysburg, Major General John Fulton Reynolds has endured in Civil War lore as a monumental figure. His death at the head of the Union First Corps on July 1, 1863, produced a legend that transcended an admirable career of U.S. Army service.
An able tactician and a competent commander at corps, Reynolds was the proverbial cream of the old Army and U.S.Army of the Potomac crop when Union forces checked Robert E. Lee’s Pennsylvania invasion in 1863.
