Follow the winding curves along the crest of Missionary Ridge and learn the story of this last, pivotal battle in the Campaign for Chattanooga. Poster is size 12x16.

On November 25, 1863, more than 50,000 Union soldiers stormed the Confederate defenses along Missionary Ridge west of Chattanooga. The attack stretched from Rossville Gap at the Georgia border all the way up to Tunnel Hill at the northern end of Missionary Ridge. By the end of the day, the Confederate Army of Tennessee was retreating towards Dalton, Georgia, and Chattanooga was firmly in Union hands. It was, as one Confederate officer later described it, "The death knell of the Confederacy."
