North Controls Lookout Mountain
'Fighting in a heavy mist, the Northern soldiers completely wrecked the Confederate forces today, and gained control of Lookout
Mountain. The fog was so thick that often the only things that could be seen were the flashes of gunfire. The Union expected a
long drawn-out battle, but they didn't know that they outnumbered the Confederate men by 6 to 1. The Rebels were forced to retreat
as the Northern troops pressed harder for victory. General Grant was pleased at learning of the capture of Lookout Mountain. Grant
now plans to continue his assault on the main line of soldiers stationed at Missionary Ridge. He has sent orders to General
Sherman and General Thomas to take the ridge immediately.'
