Description: "Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain. These two sanguinary conflicts of the civil war were fought Nov. 23–25, 1863, between Gen. Bragg, Confederate, and Gens. Hooker and Rosecrans, Federal. The latter were completely victorious, and the result was so decisive as to put an end to the war in Tenn., until it was renewed by Hood at Franklin and Nashville in the winter of 1864." — W. H. DePuy, 1881.
