Confederate forces used Lookout Mountain to besiege Chattanooga. On November 24, 1863, Union troops under the command of General Joseph Hooker swept the northern slopes of Lookout Mountain in what became known as the “Battle Above the Clouds.” For the rest of the Civil War, Lookout Mountain was a tourist destination for Union soldiers and civilians, and a photographer even established a studio to capture portraits of soldiers on the point. Today, Point Park sits atop Lookout Mountain, and the slopes where these men fought and died are preserved as part of the park. Around 3,000 acres are preserved within Lookout Mountain Battlefield.
