During the period of the Atlanta campaign, the 6th Georgia Regiment and the rest of Colquitt’s Brigade were a part of R. F. Hoke’s Division around Petersburg, Virginia, including some operations on the north side of the James River. Most notably during that period they were involved in Lee’s failed attempt to recapture Fort Harrison. Colquitt’s Brigade was in Virginia from May through December 1864 and then in North Carolina for the duration of the war.
