Stevens' Knoll

Stevens' Knoll is a small hill that lies in the otherwise low ground between Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill southeast of Gettysburg. Captain Greenlief T. Stevens 5th Maine Battery occupied the knoll after its retreat from Seminary Hill on July 1st. During the Confederate attack on East Cemetery Hill on the evening of July 2nd, Stevens' Battery "poured a terrible fire
of double canister" into the left flank of Hays' and Hoke's Brigades, according to acting 1st Corps commander General Abner Doubleday.

Today the 5th Maine Battery monument shares the knoll with the equestrian statue of Major General Henry Slocum, whose Twelfth Corps defended Culp's Hill with the help of the First Corps survivors on July 2nd and 3rd.
