Great picture. I wonder if there has been any investigating where this picture was taken from in relation to the Orchard Knob? Are we looking at the North / Central /Southern end of the ridge? My GGG Grandfather stormed up that ridge with the 75th Indiana under Baird and Van Derveer, reaching the ridge near where the current DeLong reservation of the Chickamauga/Chattanooga National Park system is

Here are a couple other photographs of Missionary Ridge, taken by George N. Barnard probably in early to mid 1864.

The one's supposedly taken from Orchard Knob, looking at Missionary Ridge.
