LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN FROM THE MOUTH OF CHATTA-
NOOGA CREEK.
Frontispiece.

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.

These limbs of oak trees were cut on Snodgrass Hill in 1888, two years before the Park was established. The trees from which they were taken stood at the foot of the slope where Steedman's Division went into action when it reached Thomas' line Sunday afternoon. The firing was from Confederate batteries at Steedman's lines.

PYRAMIDAL MONUMENTS OF EIGHT INCH SHELL.....................

These are erected to mark the spots where those exercising the command of general officers were killed or mortally wounded. There were four of these on each side, all commanding bridages: Brig.-Gen. W. H. Lytle and Cols. P. P. Baldwin, H. C. Heg, and E. A. King, on the Union side; and Brig.-Gens. Jas. Deshler, B. H. Helm and Preston Smith and Col. P. H. Colquitt, of the Confed

erates.

LEE AND GORDON'S MILL.

The La Fayette Road runs upon high ground which looks down upon the front of the Mill at a distance of about 300 yards, and crosses the Chickamauga a little to the right (above) the Mill.

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 of three divisions was in the woods in front of the house, Negley's Division first held the line back of the house, and was relieved by Wood's. As the latter was moving to his left under orders, and before the gap was filled, Longstreet's column pressed into it, broke the Union center and forced its lines back to Snodgrass Hill.

DYER'S FIELD, LOOKING NORTH.....

The flag marks the present Park Headquarters, which are at the Dyer House. The tower to the right of it is back of the first ridge, and stands at the high point of Snodgrass Hill, on the ground which was Brannan's right before Granger's troops arrived. The woods to the right skirt the eastern side of the field. The La Fayette Road runs parallel to this line of forest, and a quarter of a mile east of it. The Brotherton House where Longstreet's center pierced the Union line, is directly east of the monument at the right. The ridge at the extreme north end of the field in the center of the picture, is where Harker's Brigade checked Law's advance. Over the same ridge Kershaw's Brigade, forcing Harker back, advanced to the assault of Snodgrass Hill with Humphrey's Brigade on its right. Upon the ridge to the left, Bushrod Johnson's Division captured fifteen guns, and went on to the assault of Snodgrass Hill from the Viditoe House. The tablet in

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.

HEADQUARTERS

THOMAS, NOVEMBER 25TH................

OF GRANT AND

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 engaged within the legal limits of the Park.

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

115

ber 25th, Cleburne held Tunnel Hill, and the Confederate
line extended beyond the Tunnel. Corse's Brigade as-
saulted from the ravine at the left and effected a lodgment
on the extreme point; Loomis', Raum's, Matthies', and
Bushbeck's Brigades on the line from the north point of
the Ridge to the Tunnel; and Giles A. Smith's Brigade,
assisted by three regiments of Lightburn's, from the
ravine to the left of Corse. The Crest Road, which
terminates just to the left of the Moon House, marks the
north point of Missionary Ridge. This Park road, con-
structed on a fifty-foot right of way, extends twenty miles
to Crawfish Springs. There were no houses at the base in
1862. The whole of the crest shown in the picture now
belongs to the Park.

MISSIONARY RIDGE FROM ORCHARD KNOB...

The view is taken from the eastern base of Orchard Knob. It takes in that portion of the Ridge which was carried November 25th by Baird's and Wood's Divisions, and extends on the right slightly over the left of Sheridan's Division. The tower at the left is at the De Long Place, and marks the point where the center of Baird's Division gained the crest. At this point the Government owns between five and six acres on the crest.

KELLY HOUSE AND FIELD, LOOKING EAST....

The La Fayette Road was immediately in front of the tree to the left in the foreground, and parallel to the fence. On this ground, and in a field directly opposite the house, Brannan's Division halted at sunrise, September 19th, in its march from Pond Spring, and almost at once proceeded northward to the McDonald House and eastward to the vicinity of Jay's Mill, where it opened the battle. On Sunday, Gen. Reynolds' Division reached from the La Fayette Road around the south-east corner of the field, Palmer's held the line 150 yards inside the woods to about the center of the picture, and Johnson's, the ground thence nearly to the left of the picture. There Baird's line began and ran around the north-east corner of the field, and half way back to the La Fayette Road.
