In addition to seeing action at Gettysburg, General Gibbons also fought in the second battle of Bull Run, at Antietam, and in the Wilderness campaign of 1864. After the Civil War he fought in the Indian wars in the West and commanded one of the columns that moved against the Sioux in 1876. The next year he fought an inconclusive battle with the Nez Percés at Big Hole in Montana. Like I have said in other waymark visits logs, I always learn something new when Visiting Gettyburg and my visit to the General Gibbons Statue prompted me to seek more information about this man.
