Battle of Lookout Mountain

Nov. 24, 1863

Two miles south, over 3,000 Federal troops crossed Lookout Creek in thick fog at dawn. They lined up from the creek to base of cliffs above and charged north along the mountainside over slashed timber and deep ravines crumpling the Confederate left flank completely.

Marker is at the intersection of Garden Road and Old Wauhatchie Pike (Tennessee Route 318), on the right when traveling south on Garden Road.
