This beautiful image captures the feeling of being at Chickamauga, the nation’s first ever preserved Civil War Battlefield! Poster is size 12x16.
In late September 1863 more than 120,000 Union and Confederate soldiers fought in the woods and fields west of Chickamauga Creek in northwest Georgia. By the end of the battle, more than 34,000 men were killed, wounded, or missing, and the Union Army was in full retreat towards Chattanooga. From the Spanish American War through World War II, the US Army used the battlefield as a training ground for soliders preparing to go overseas. Today, the landscape is dotted with monuments and markers that commemorate the sacrifices made by the men who fought here during the Civil War.
The stunning views of the Tennessee River Valley from Point Park come to life in this vibrant image! Poster is size 12x16.
Confederate forces used Lookout Mountain to besiege Chattanooga. On November 24, 1863, Union troops under the command of General Joseph Hooker swept the northern slopes of Lookout Mountain in what became known as the “Battle Above the Clouds.” For the rest of the Civil War, Lookout Mountain was a tourist destination for Union soldiers and civilians, and a photographer even established a studio to capture portraits of soldiers on the point. Today, Point Park sits atop Lookout Mountain, and the slopes where these men fought and died are preserved as part of the park. Around 3,000 acres are preserved within Lookout Mountain Battlefield.
Follow the winding curves along the crest of Missionary Ridge and learn the story of this last, pivotal battle in the Campaign for Chattanooga. Poster is size 12x16.
On November 25, 1863, more than 50,000 Union soldiers stormed the Confederate defenses along Missionary Ridge west of Chattanooga. The attack stretched from Rossville Gap at the Georgia border all the way up to Tunnel Hill at the northern end of Missionary Ridge. By the end of the day, the Confederate Army of Tennessee was retreating towards Dalton, Georgia, and Chattanooga was firmly in Union hands. It was, as one Confederate officer later described it, "The death knell of the Confederacy."
Gorgeous artwork captures the natural beauty of Moccasin Bend National Archeological District! Poster is size 12x16.
Moccasin Bend National Archeological District spans 12,000 years of continuous human habitation and is one of the most unique units found in the entire National Park Service system. The site preserves the archaeological remains of numerous American Indian civilizations, and the Trail of Tears crossed Moccasin Bend in the late 1830s. Dotting the hills of Moccasin Bend are fortifications built by the Union Army during the Civil War.
