This vintage postcard depicts the observation tower at General Braxton Bragg's Headquarters on Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The site is famous for the American Civil War Battle of Missionary Ridge, which occurred on November 25, 1863.
The battle was a decisive Union victory, where forces under Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant routed the Confederate Army of Tennessee, lifting the Confederate siege of Chattanooga.
Missionary Ridge is a significant geographic feature that runs north-south for several miles in Chattanooga.
The spontaneous charge by Union soldiers up the steep, seemingly impregnable ridge to capture the Confederate position is one of the most famous aspects of the battle.
Chattanooga became a crucial Union logistical base for the subsequent Atlanta Campaign in 1864.
