Page removed from the album "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign." Two trees appear in sharp focus in foreground. The camera is elevated and shows a landscape of the terrain below the ridge. Orchard Knob was the site of a battle that took place on November 23, 1863. Confederate soldiers had been stationed on the Knob, but were pushed back to Missionary Ridge upon the advance of about 14,000 Union soldiers. Union General Ulysses S. Grant later used Orchard Knob as an observation post.
