^ "Battle Above the Clouds'

In the early part of September, 1863, General Bragg held Chattanooga. Rosecrans, to gain this important position, determined by outflanking him to compel his adver- sary to withdraw. He succeeded in crossing, with the main body of the Federal army, the Tennessee River some miles below the city. Bragg promptly moved south as far as Lafayette, Ga., and the two armies fought the terrible Chickamauga battle.

The exhausted Union army retired to Chattanooga. Soon General Grant assumed the

command of the Federal forces, and, heavily reinforced, on November 23d ordered a general attack

on the enemy's lines. General Hooker carried Lookout Mountain, and the divisions under Thomas

carried Mission Ridge, on November 25th. After the famous three days' battle, Bragg withdrew his

army into Georgia.

According to Col. Archer Anderson, the Federal force numbered 59,000, the Confederate about 55,000. Generals Boynton and Cist claim that the Confederates outnumbered their adversaries by several thousand. The Federal loss was more than 16,000, that of the Confederates between 17,0011 and 18,000, on each side considerable more than 25 per cent of the whole force. In the battles about Chattanooga the Union losses were nearly 5,300; the Confederate loss is not known. There were many famous soldiers connected with the military movements about Chattanooga and Chickamauga in the fall of 1863. The following is a partial list of Union officers: Grant, Rosecrans, Thomas. Sherman, Hooker, Sheridan, Wood, O. O. Howard, and Garfield, then an officer on Rosecrans' staff. Gen. W. H. Lytle, a poet of considerable reputation as well as a gallant soldier, was killed at Chickamauga. On the Confederate side were such men as Bragg, Longstreet, D. H. Hill, Polk, N. B. Forrest, John B. Hood, Buckner, and others.

Two incidents of these battles have become famous. The first was the gallant stand made by General Thomas, after the rout of the right wing of the Federal army at Chickamauga. For several hours he stood at bay against overwhelming numbers, and by his action saved the army from destruc- tion. The second was Hooker's "Battle above the Clouds," since celebrated in song and story.

BATTLE OF ATLANTA. Death of Gen. James B. McPherson, July 22d, 1864. Army of Tennessee Engaged.

MOCCASIN BEND AND CHATTANOOGA, TENN., FROM POINT PARK, LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN

A MOST MAGNIFICENT VIEW SHOWING SEVEN STATES

This view alone is worth a trip to Lookout Mountain, and is enthusiastically conceded by all who have seen it to be one of the finest in the world. Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, standing on Point Lookout, said: "This is the most magnificent view in the world." Prince Henry, of Prussia, exclaimed : "This is magnificent; there is nothing in all Europe that is finer!" George Bancroft, the eminent historian, at the age of 87, said of it : "In all my travels I have never seen any scene to exceed its sublime grandeur." This won- derful panorama, with its splendid variety of scene and intense historical interest, is visited by people from all parts of the world. The seven States to be seen are : Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Lookout Mountain is one of the "beauty spots" in a land of beauty ; in addition to this, it furnishes the most thrilling page in all the history of Tennessee, bearing as it does the marks of many wars, and of two distinct ra:3s. First, the habitation of the Indians, from whom the great river washing its base received the name, that afterward became the name of the State Tennessee, a spoon.

Visitors from the North make special pilgrimages to Lookout Mountain, and are unanimous in pronoun- cing the view unsurpassed by any in Europe. Off to the west, the purple line of mountains marks the trend of Sand and Raccoon. Easily the eye may follow the line of Walden's Ridge, another historic battlefield; with Sherman Heights and Cameron Hill, Missionary Ridge, and the faint, far purple of the Great Smokies making the last link in this magnificent mountain circumference. Legends and lore of the most thrilling nature attach to this region.

A trolley ride of seven miles on top of the mountain connects the Incline Railway station with the Moun- tain House, Sunset Park and Point Lookout. This is a thrilling ride and one of the grandest in the country, giving visitors a view of Wauhatchie Valley, 1,500 feet below; views north, east, south and west, as the car winds around the summit of grand old Lookout. From the Point an excellent view is had of the Craven's House and the battlefield, famous as the "Battle Above the Clouds."
