Lookout Ridge Vision of Flags and Triumph
The scene describes sun rise over Lookout Mountain with smoky vapors lifting from the valley and a group reaching the crag. An eagle-like figure moves forward and then clings to the breeze as a red, white, and blue banner is raised. Troops atop the summit march in view, cheering as their flags wave above.
