Page removed from the album "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign." Missionary Ridge visible in the distance. A brush-covered landscape occupies the area between the entrenchments and 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 soldiers seized Missionary Ridge from Confederate control on November 25, 1863, and held it as a logistics base for General William T. Sherman's 1864 campaigns through Atlanta.
