I’ve read plenty of books, good and otherwise.Billy Goat Hill is NOT part of Missionary Ridge. It is a detached Hill. A Valley separates it and Tunnel Hill.
I can suggest you a good Book. The OPs. Mr Rose isn’t the only one who has written about this. But he is Knowledgeable. Maybe he will chime in. You won’t believe him either. So, I don’t know why he would.
Here is an account. Good description of Billy Goat and Missionary Ridge.

here is what historian Stephen Woodworth wrote in one of his good books:
Careful examination of the ground and written evidence, however, reveals that the high ground Sherman's men took on the afternoon of November 24 was indeed part of Missionary Ridge." - from the book Six Armies in Tennessee.
