I think I recall this battle being called “the battle above the clouds”. It gave whole new meaning to “having the high ground”.

The Battle Above the Clouds was at Lookout Mountain about Chattanooga. It was a Union victory.
My GGrandfather lost 3 Brothers at Chickamauga which was part of the same series of battles but a Confederate victory. The Confederates charged the Union lines several times before finally breaking through. It was a bit of a Pyrrhic victory in that the South lost a lot of men.
I believe that “The Battle Above the Clouds” was Lookout Mountain, Tn.
The mountain anchored the lines, but most of the fighting was on lower ground to the south between Pigeon Ridge and Cheatham Hill.
I believe that was Lookout Mountain outside of Chattanooga the previous year.
