 Had a photograph of a distant land battle actually been made, this is probably what it would have looked like. This, however, appears to be a brush clearing operation in Lookout Valley, Tennessee, in 1864 or 1865. It was taken from atop Lookout Mountain. The confusion and turmoil of a land battle was just too much for war photographers to overcome with their bulky equipment and wet plate process. So it was not an army engagement, but a Naval conflict, that became the first battle to ever be captured by a camera. Scroll down to the back of the view.  The Anthony Co. listed 12 other views of Lookout Mountain between catalog numbers 3650 and 3664. |
