Zusammenfassung
Photograph of the War in the West. These photographs are of the Battle of Chattanooga, September-November 1863. After Rosecrans' debacle at Chickamauga, September 19-20, 1863, Bragg's army occupied the mountains that ring about the vital railroad center of Chattanooga. Grant, brought in to save the situation, steadily built up offensive strength, and on November 23-25, burst the blockade in a series of brilliantly executed attacks. The photographs, probably all taken the following year when Chattanooga was the base for Sherman's Atlanta campaign, include scenes on Lookout Mountain, stormed by Hooker on November 24.

Während des Bürgerkriegs produzierten Fotografen tausende von Stereoaufnahmen. Stereografien waren während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs populär. Eine einzige Glasplatte Negativ erfassen beide Bilder mit einer Stereokamera. Abzüge dieser Negative sollten mit einem speziellen Betrachter, einem Stereoskop, betrachtet werden, das ein dreidimensionales ("3-D") Bild erzeugte.
