Description:Excerpt from Military Order of the Loyal Legion of He United States: Commandery of the District of Columbia The stream threads its way through the valley east of Missionary Ridge, rounding the northern end, and, Mowing westward two miles, empties into the Tennessee four miles above the city. Chattanooga Creek, flowing northward through Chattanooga valley, skirts the eastern base of Lookout Mountain and empties into the river opposite the toe of Moceasin Point, two miles below the city. A little over three-fourths of a mile from the northern extremity of the ridge is a gap and tunnel through which the East Tennessee-Railroad passes, while the Georgia Railroad rounds the outlying hills between them and Chickamauga Creek; thence southward, crossing the East Tennessee Railroad, and on through Ringgold and Dalton to Atlanta. Bragg's line of battle, six miles long, extended from Rossville. on the south, where the line was weak and attenuated, to a hill north of the tunnel, where Cleburne was entrenched, and supported by the three remaining divisions of Hardee's corps. The Tennessee river, only two miles from Missionary Ridge at the mouth of Chickamauga Creek, curves gently westward from its southerly course; then bearing again southward it passes Chattanooga four miles from the base of the Ridge. Fort Wood, situated on an eminence east of the city, was located two miles from the trenches at the base of the Ridge; the average distance from this line of works to the crest where the main Confederate line of battle was formed was six hundred yards. Intermediate between the trenches and Fort Wood were two hills known as Orchard Knob and Bushy Knob, upon which Bragg's advanced pickets were posted. The Confederate artillery was advantageously posted to sweep the valley in all directions, affording in some places an enfilading tire upon an assaulting line of troops.
