This view is from the Chattanooga or eastern side of the mountain. The slope shown against the sky at the right of the picture is the line along which Hooker's flags first came into view from the city as his troops advanced from the west side of the mountain. The high ground to the right, in the foreground, is on Moccasin Point. RELICS FROM SNODGRASS HILL..

KELLY FIELD, LOOKING NORTH.....

The telegraph poles at the left are on the La Fayette Road, the west side of the field. Breckinridge's Division, after turning the Union left, marched out of the woods on the north full into the Union rear. John Beatty's Brigade resisted Breckinridge on the La Fayette Road beyond the break in the forest, Stanley's Brigade in the forest to the left of the field, and Van Derveer's, which finally repulsed him after Stanley's Brigade had been sent to Snodgrass Hill, advanced from the forest on the west side into the field, wheeled north, and pressed Breckinridge back over the ground of his advance.

THE BROTHERTON HOUSE......

This house fronts on the La Fayette Road. The Union line Sunday morning was parallel to the road and in the edge of the woods back of the house. Longstreet's column hree divisions was in the woods in front of the house,

Division first held the line back of the house, and

orders, and before the gap was filled, Long-
cessed into it, broke the Union center and

the center of the field marks the point at the site of the
old Tan Yard to which Clayton's Brigade of Stewart's
Division penetrated Saturday at 4:30 P. M., after forcing
Van Cleve's two brigades back from their line in front
of Brotherton's, and subsequently breaking the Union
line at the latter point. The line was restored by the ad-
vance of Negley's Division into the south end of the field,
and of Brannan's into its northern extremity.

VIDITOE HOUSE-LINE OF JOHNSON AND HINDMAN'S
ASSAULT ON SNODGRASS HILL..

The Viditoe House stands at the left near the gorge
through which the Crawfish Springs Road passes toward
McFarland's Gap. In the assault on the Ridge, the left of
Hindman's Division extended into the gorge, and his right
about to the middle of the picture. There Bushrod John-
son's line began, and ran along the road at the base of
the Ridge for a considerable distance to the right.

CHATTANOOGA IN 1863......

...

....

The arched railroad depot still stands. To its right, the long low building with chimneys is the Crutchfield House, where a deposit of a dollar was required to secure a towel and a piece of soap. The cluster of white buildings on the hill in the direction of Lookout are the thirteen hospitals which were used in succession by both armies.

CHATTANOOGA AND BROWN'S FERRY FROM LOOKOUT

MOUNTAIN.

...

Brown's Ferry, where the bridge was thrown as the preliminary move in opening the lines of supply, lies near the lower point of the low range parallel to the river at the left of the picture. The point of landing was just opposite the line of trees which run down to the bank perpendicular to the direction of the stream and just above the lower point of the range. The large island below Brown's Ferry is William's Island. The center of the picture is occupied by Moccasin Point. The toe is at the right, the heel at the left, and the ankle is the narrow neck between

Brown's Ferry and Chattanooga. Sherman's troops crossed first at Brown's Ferry, and again, the night of November 23d, at the last bend where a glimpse of the

river is seen at the right. The slope of Lookout in the
foreground extends from the foot of the palisades to the
river bluff a width of a mile and a half. The Craven House,
which was Gen. Walthall's Headquarters, stands at the
right end of the heavy clump of trees close to and over the
word "Lookout Mt." in the title. The highest point in
the woods near the toe of the Moccasin was occupied by
Union batteries, which raked the entire Craven House
slope.

THOMAS, NOVEMBER 25TH...
The view is from the Chattanooga side looking toward
Missionary Ridge. It stands half way between the eastern
limits of the city and the Ridge. It was carried by the
Union forces in the first day's operations. It commands
a view of both Union and Confederate lines from Lookout
Mountain to Sherman Heights. It was the headquarters
of Grant, Thomas, and Gordon Granger during the last
day's battle. The monument to the left was erected by
Massachusetts to her Second and Thirty-third regiments.
The western portion of the Knob, the whole of which is
part of the National Park, is set apart for monuments to
such troops as served in the campaign, but were not en-
gaged within the legal limits of the Park.

HOOKER'S BATTLE FIELD ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN...... 118 Hooker's troops formed about two miles south of the point of the mountain on such ground as is shown in the cut, his lines reaching from the palisades to the base. They then moved north and swept around the point of the mountain and over the lower slope shown to the left. Across the river at the left is Moccasin Point.

TUNNEL HILL AND SHERMAN HEIGHTS....

.....

The high ground to the right, now marked by the Trueblood House, is Tunnel Hill. The Tunnel is a little over a quarter of a mile to the right. The house on the lower bench of the ridge to the left of Tunnel Hill is Moon's. The woods at the extreme left of the picture are the foot of the slope of the detached range occupied by Gen. Sherman in his first day's advance. In the battle of Novem
