During my hike up Lookout Mountain, I passed the impressive New York State Monument, located on Cravens Terrace in the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. This monument commemorates the soldiers from New York State who participated in the Battle of Lookout Mountain on November 24, 1863—a pivotal moment in the American Civil War.
The monument stands on a site that was once the scene of fierce fighting between the Union and the Confederacy. General Ulysses S. Grant's troops fought here to relieve the besieged city of Chattanooga. The battle on the mountain, often referred to as the "Battle Above the Clouds," was not only strategically important but also symbolically powerful—a feeling you can still feel as you stand here.

One of several similar stone monuments located on the ridge in remembrance of the Union soldiers that fought battles here during the Civil War. This particular monument commemorates soldiers from New York.
