THE BATTLE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
By
JAMES WALKER
1874
The
Civil War "Battle Above the Clouds" was fought on the North slope of
Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, November 24, 1863. Military artist James
Walker witnessed the battle and sketched scenes to render this historically
accurate 13' by 30' painting. The painting, completed in 1874, is now on
public display at the Point Park Visitor Center, Chickamauga-Chattanooga
National Military Park, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. The home place of
Jeremiah and his daughter Nancy Elizabeth Fryar can be seen in the background of
the painting at the Point.
