Battlefield Tour Stop-5: Fort Stedman
This Union stronghold was the focus of a
Confederate attack on March 25, 1865, in Lee's attempt to relieve heavy
pressure west of the city. The loop trail leads to Colquitt's Salient, from
which the Confederate attack originated. The trail passes the monument to
the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery, commemorating its role in the June 18, 1864,
attack on Colquitt's Salient in which it sustained the greatest regimental
loss in a single action of the Civil War
