(6-2005) Tennessee River from Signal Point
Signal Point is the highest point on Signal Mountain. It was key in the
Union’s victory in Chattanooga, although no actual fighting took place
there. It was mainly used as a lookout point from which the Union soldiers
were able to keep surveillance on the rebel forces below. This station was
also used to relay messages to Cameron Hill and Lookout Mountain. Most of
the signals were sent through fire, smoke, and flags. From Cameron Hill,
the messages were transported across Walden’s Ridge to Bridgeport, Alabama |
