On November 23, 1863, US soldiers, besieged in Chattanooga by surrounding Confederates since September, decided to strike back at the gray-clad troops occupying the heights around the city. The first military demonstration was against the small knoll between Chattanooga and Missionary Ridge, called Orchard Knob. This 1-hour program will provide insight into the first of 3 days of fighting to control Chattanooga.
