On these battlefields -gallant soldiers of the North and the South fought for control of -Chattanooga, strategic railroad center and gateway to the heart of the -Confederate States. Here, thousands of men on both sides exemplified the -true American qualities of independence, courage, and self-sacrifice, -which constitute the enduring strength of our democracy. At the -dedication of the park, a veteran of the battle said: “Here ... we and -they, the living and the dead, Confederate and Federal, fought for the -right as each understood it, for the Constitution as each construed it, -and for the liberty as each interpreted it.” - - - - - _The Campaign for Chattanooga_ - - -Chattanooga was an important railroad center at the time of the Civil -War. Railroad lines radiated in the four principal directions and -provided connections with Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, and Richmond. The -location of the city on the navigable Tennessee River where there were -gaps in the mountains added to its strategic value. Its capture by Union -forces would be a severe blow to the South. It would check the east and -west passage of men and supplies for the Southern armies and provide a -springboard for the invasion of Georgia. - -During the summer and early fall of 1863, by skillful maneuvers, the -Union Army of the Cumberland forced the Southern Army of Tennessee out -of middle Tennessee and Chattanooga. On September 19 and 20, at -Chickamauga Creek in Georgia, the two armies met in one of the fiercest -engagements of the war. While this battle ended in Confederate victory, -the Union forces succeeded in retreating northward into Chattanooga. - -The Confederates now settled down to siege tactics and attempted to -force the surrender of the Army of the Cumberland through starvation. By -occupying Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge and by establishing a -line between the two heights, they cut off all but the most difficult -route by which supplies could be brought into the city. Within a month -the Union Army in Chattanooga was in a desperate situation and was -reduced to half rations. Ten thousand horses and mules died and -surrender seemed inevitable. - -The North, however, met this crisis by a change of command and -reinforcements. Troops from the Army of the Potomac in Virginia and from -Grant’s Vicksburg forces in Mississippi were sent hurrying to -Chattanooga, and General Grant arrived to take the overall command. - -The reinforcements arrived in time to save the besieged army. A new -supply route was opened and was successfully defended. As a result of -this timely aid, the siege of Chattanooga failed. Nevertheless, the -Confederates still held their positions. In November the greatly -strengthened Union Army assumed the offensive. - - [Illustration: _Missionary Ridge from DeLong Reservation._] - - - - - _The Battle of Chattanooga_ - - -The Battle of Chattanooga was a 3-day engagement, November 23 to 25. As -planned by the Union officers, victory was to be won by a flanking -movement against the Confederate right wing on the north end of -Missionary Ridge. If this position were carried, Union troops in the -center were to join in an effort to sweep the Confederates from their -base of supplies and communications and to defeat them. The engagement, -however, developed much differently. While the main force was maneuvered -into position, a demonstration attack was made on a Confederate outpost -at Orchard Knob, about a mile in front of Missionary Ridge. This advance -movement was successfully carried out on November 23 but it warned the -Confederates of danger on that right flank and prompted them to -strengthen their positions. - -On the next day, while the maneuvering force was still getting into -position, the Union officers tried another demonstration, this time to -divert the Confederates on their left. Moving along the slopes of -Lookout Mountain from the western side, Union troops gradually drove -back the few Confederate defenders. At Cravens Farm, however, they met -stubborn resistance from an entrenched line of troops. Here the fighting -was most serious, the Confederates finally being dislodged and forced to -retreat to a new line 400 yards beyond. At this point the fighting -ended, and although the Confederates had not yet been driven from the -mountain, their position was in danger. Rather than risk being cut off -from the main line of forces on Missionary Ridge, the Confederate -commander, General Bragg, evacuated all troops from Lookout Mountain and -the valley below. When Union soldiers scaled the palisades the next -morning, they found the mountain deserted. - -On the third day, the Union Army resumed the attempt to gain a foothold -on the north end of Missionary Ridge, which it had previously failed to -take, but all attacks were repulsed by the Confederates. The forces on -Lookout Mountain were ordered to advance across Chattanooga Valley to -attack the Confederate left flank, but they advanced slowly. Meanwhile, -in order to relieve the situation on both Union flanks, other troops -were thrown against the Confederate rifle pits along the base of -Missionary Ridge. In a rush these Union soldiers carried the rifle pits. -Then in their enthusiasm, without waiting for further orders, they -charged up the mountain slopes and broke the Confederate positions. This -precipitated a general retreat of the Confederate Army across the border -into Georgia. Complete control of Chattanooga and its approaches had at -last been won by the Union. - - [Illustration: _Tennessee River from Point Park, Lookout Mountain._] - - - - - _The Park_ - - -Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is composed of -separate areas, the more important of which are: Chickamauga -Battlefield, in Georgia; Point Park and the Battlefield of Lookout -Mountain, and Orchard Knob, in Chattanooga; a chain of small -reservations located on Missionary Ridge; and Signal Point on Signal -Mountain. The park contains approximately 8,190 acres of Federal land. - - - - - _Point Park and Lookout Mountain Battlefield_ - - -You are urged to go first to Point Park on Lookout Mountain, where from -the terrace of the Adolph S. Ochs Observatory and Museum, high above the -winding Tennessee River, you may obtain a comprehensive view of the -Battlefield of Chattanooga. On the parapet are markers to identify the -more important troop positions, and maps are available to indicate the -natural and historic features of interest. You may get further -assistance from a National Park Service attendant. - -The observatory and museum bears the name of one of the park’s major -benefactors, the late Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the Chattanooga Times -and the New York Times. He was responsible for the acquisition of -considerable land on Lookout Mountain for inclusion in the park. - -From Lookout Point interesting foot trails, extending along eastern and -western flanks of the mountain, will reveal to you unusual rock -formations typical of the area and will provide ever-changing and -beautiful vistas of the countryside below. - -You can reach Point Park from Chattanooga via U. S. 41, 64, 72, and 11 -which combine as they leave the city and skirt the base of Lookout -Mountain. You then turn off on the Scenic Highway, which leads up the -mountain to the park entrance. You may also visit the park by means of -the St. Elmo buses from Chattanooga, which connect with the Lookout -Mountain Incline Railway at the foot of the mountain. The top of the -incline is within short walking distance of the Point Park entrance. - - - - - _Missionary Ridge_ - - -To commemorate the engagement on Missionary Ridge, there are a series of -park areas located at important points on the ridge. Access to these -areas is provided by the Crest Road which runs the entire length of the -line occupied by the Confederates during the battle. Markers, monuments, -tablets, and gun positions will provide you with information, and you -can get excellent views of Chattanooga along this drive. The more -important units of the park on Missionary Ridge are: The Sherman -Reservation, where Sherman’s forces unsuccessfully attacked the north -end of the Confederate line; the DeLong Reservation, site of one of the -breaks in the Confederate line; the Ohio Reservation, an area set aside -to commemorate the participation of Ohio troops in the battles; and the -Bragg Reservation, where the Confederate commander had his headquarters. - - - - - _Orchard Knob_ - - -This unit of the park is located near McCallie Avenue (U. S. 11 and 64), -in Chattanooga. It marks the site where the first action of the Battle -of Chattanooga took place. Orchard Knob became General Grant’s -headquarters during the remainder of the battle. - - - - - _Administration_ - - -Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is administered by -the National Park Service of the United States Department of the -Interior. - -At the park headquarters, located on the Chickamauga Battlefield in -Georgia, there are a museum and reference library. The Fuller gun -collection of American shoulder arms is an outstanding attraction of the -museum. - -Additional information may be obtained by addressing the Superintendent, -Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. - -Those who plan to visit in a group may receive special service if -advance arrangements are made with the superintendent. - - [Illustration: CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA - NATIONAL MILITARY PARK - GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE] - - - - - Transcriber’s Notes - - -—Silently corrected a few typos. - -—Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook - is public-domain in the country of publication. - -—In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by - _underscores_. - - - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK POINT PARK LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN AND -CHATTANOOGA BATTLEFIELDS *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
