Colquitt’s Salient was ground associated with two of the most dramatic events of the Siege of Petersburg. The approach to the salient follows the advance of the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery during its tragic charge on June 18, 1864. The return follows the route of the Confederates who attacked Fort Stedman on March 25, 1865. A monument to the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery was shown surrounded by survivors in 1895.
