Lookout Mountain today, Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park, 2015.. During the siege of Chattanooga, Confederate batteries on Lookout Mountain could control the flow of men and supplies moving up and down the Tennessee River. Chattanooga’s location along the river helped make it vital to the Union war effort – once the city was captured, soldiers and equipment could quickly move up and down the rivers to support operations in the Deep South.

Wilder Brigade. Col. John T. Wilder and his men, nicknamed the Lightning Brigade earlier in the year, were near the site of Widow Glenn's house when Rebel forces broke through at the Brotherton Cabin during the battle of Chickamauga (September 19 - 20, 1863). Regiments from Indiana and Illinois armed with Spencer 7-shot repeating carbine laid down a barrage into the advancing Confederates under the command of Arthur Manigault, forcing the Rebels to retreat. As Wilder prepared to join the rest of Union Army on top of Snodgrass Hill north of his position he was approached by Charles Dana, Assistant Secretary of War. Dana ordered him not to join Thomas, nor attack the Rebels between Wilder's current position and Snodgrass Hill.
