Hooker's advance now made our line a continuous one.

It was in full view, extending from the Tennessee River, where Sherman had crossed, up Chickamauga River to the base of Mission Ridge, over the top of the north end of the ridge to Chattanooga Valley, then along parallel to the ridge a mile or more, across the valley to the mouth of Chattanooga Creek, thence up the slope of Lookout Mountain to the foot of the upper palisade.

The day was hazy, so that Hooker's operations were not visible to us except at moments when the clouds would rise.

But the sound of his artillery and musketry was heard incessantly.

The enemy on his front was partially fortified, but was soon driven out of his works.
