The Battle of Lookout Mountain was fought November 24, 1863, as part of the Chattanooga Campaign of the American Civil War. Union forces under General Joseph Hooker assaulted Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and defeated Confederate forces commanded by General Carter Stevenson. Lookout Mountain was one engagement in the Chattanooga battles between General Ulysses S. Grant's Military Division of the Mississippi and the Confederate Army of Tennessee, commanded by General Braxton Bragg. It drove in the Confederate left flank and allowed Hooker's men to assist in the Battle of Missionary Ridge the following day, which routed Bragg's army, lifting the siege of Union forces in Chattanooga, and opening the gateway into the Deep South. Lithograph by Kurz & Allison, 1889.
