| Summary | "Chattanooga or Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge from Moccasin Point" by Bradford R. Wood, Jr. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts significant events from the Civil War, particularly focusing on the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge in 1863. It serves as a personal narrative and analysis of military strategies, troop maneuvers, and the geographic significance of the battlefields, highlighting the experiences of those involved, especially Wood's observations from his position within the Union army. In this recounting, Wood provides a detailed chronicle of the Union's strategic advances, including the pivotal maneuvers by Generals Hooker and Thomas during the battles. He illustrates the intense circumstances faced by troops as they overcame the entrenched Confederate positions atop Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. The narrative features vivid descriptions of battle operations, including artillery fire from Moccasin Point, Union reconnaissance, and critical communications via signal corps. Ultimately, Wood captures both the chaos of battle and the courage displayed by soldiers, detailing the significance of these confrontations in the broader context of the Civil War, culminating in a Union victory that became a turning point in the conflict.
