Description |
General Ulysses S. Grant on Lookout Mountain near Missionary Ridge in 1863. Four men in uniform pose near the edge of the cliff, while one sits further back on the path.

Historical note |
Following the Battle of Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain was garrisoned by the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Braxton Bragg. The Battle of Lookout Mountain in 1863 pushed the Confederates east and south, and the mountain then remained in Federal hands until the war's end. General Grant commanded the Federal victories at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge on November 24-25 and drove the Confederates from their siege of Chattanooga. |
