A steel observation tower rises seventy feet above the wooded crest of Missionary Ridge near Chattanooga, Tennessee — the very ground where Confederate General Braxton Bragg watched in disbelief as Union troops under Grant and Sherman stormed the ridge in November 1863, one of the most audacious infantry assaults of the Civil War. The tower, erected by the federal government to give visitors panoramic views of Lookout Mountain and the Chickamauga battlefield valley, stands alongside the Illinois state monument visible at its base, all rendered in the soft greens and sky blues of the white-border era. Published by D.R. Weill Co. of Chattanooga, the back carries a detailed historical description of the site — a rarity that makes this card as informative as it is scenic. A battlefield park collector's staple, this unused card is a quiet witness to the landscape where the Confederacy's grip on the western theater began to break.
