Redoubts in Early American Forts

[Jerry]

You'll find redoubts in a number of places; the Battle of Yorktown in the Revolution, for example, and the siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War. Ft. Ticonderoga has redoubts, as well as a number of fortifications from the 18th & 19th centuries.

I believe there are several around my area also. The siege of Petersburg involved a lot of entrenchment. One of the most notable today is known as" The Crater". This is where Union troops tunneled under the Confederate lines and set off a huge explosive charge.
