Title - Rebel Prisoners at Chattanooga Depot
Description - Confederate prisoners at railroad depot in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Photograph of the Battle of Chattanooga. After Rosecrans' debacle at Chickamauga, September 19 - 20, 1863, Bragg's army occupied the mountains that ring about the vital railroad center of Chattanooga. Grant, brought in to save the situation, steadily built up offensive strength, and on November 23 - 25, burst the blockade in a series of brilliantly executed attacks. The photograph, probably taken the following year when Chattanooga was the base for Sherman's Atlanta campaign, include scenes on Lookout Mountain, stormed by Hooker on November 24.
