Missionary Ridge Battle Recalled At Reunion
The account recalls the September 25 1863 clash at Missionary Ridge following Chickamauga. Federal forces moved from the valley to attack rifle pits and crest lines, with fierce fighting and high Confederate losses. Historians cite Longstreet’s Knoxville campaign as a missed chance to defeat Grant, while modern visitors may see the battlefield’s homes and industry as a reveal at the May reunion.
