EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Missionary Ridge, which took place on November 23-25, 1863, during the American Civil War. The Union Army, led by General Ulysses S. Grant, launched a bold assault on the Confederate forces, who were positioned on the ridges overlooking Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Union troops advanced up the steep and rugged terrain, under heavy fire from the Confederate artillery and infantry. The scene depicted in this print shows the moment of the Union charge, with soldiers waving their flags and brandishing their weapons, determined to take the ridge and break through the Confederate lines. Smoke and dust fill the air, obscuring the view and adding to the sense of confusion and turmoil. In the background, cannons are fired and explosions light up the sky, while in the foreground, fallen soldiers and horses lie scattered on the ground, a grim reminder of the human cost of war. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was a turning point in the war, with the Union victory allowing them to take control of Chattanooga and open up a new front against the Confederacy. However, the battle came at a great cost, with over 20,000 casualties on both sides. This poignant print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in this pivotal battle, and the enduring impact of the American Civil War on the nation's history.
