A view of Chattanooga, Tennessee, looking west toward Cameron Hill. In the foreground is a large open space, a large home set on the edge of the space. In the distance, on the right can be seen some of the tents and cabins of the Union troops, Redoubt Carpenter behind. In the middle distance, to the left, below the hill, can be seen Whiteside House, with white columns in the front, the headquarters of General Grant. On the crest of the hill can be seen another Union encampment, and, silhouetted against the sky, the guns used to command the river. Title supplied by cataloger. Information on the Whiteside House from Hoobler, Cities under the gun, p. 157.
