In response, Davis visited the army’s headquarters in October but rather than relieving his old friend Bragg, Davis sided with him and relieved or reassigned several subordinate commanders. He also successfully urged Bragg to send Longstreet’s corps to capture Knoxville. All in all, the president’s visit served only to further reduce the morale and troop strength in the Army of Tennessee.
On October 18, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was given overall command of the Union armies in the west—the armies of the Tennessee, the Ohio, and the Cumberland. He accepted the opportunity offered by the War Department to relieve Rosecrans of command of the Army of the Cumberland and replace him with George H. Thomas, the "Rock of Chickamauga," who had gathered an ad hoc force that withstood repeated assaults after the rest of the army had fled at Chickamauga, thereby saving the army. Grant left for Chattanooga himself. Though still recovering from a fall with his horse, he traveled by rail as far as he could, then made the rough, 60-mile trip through the mountains to arrive in Chattanooga on the rain-soaked evening of October 23.
Recognizing that resupply was the first order of the day—the men were down to just a few days’ rations—he accepted a plan devised by Chief Engineer of the Army of the Cumberland, William F. "Baldy" Smith, to open the rail line. A column of Thomas’ men advanced to the west along the railroad while a corps under Maj. Gen. Joseph "Fighting Joe" Hooker—sent from the Army of the Potomac—advanced eastward. Five days after Grant reached Chattanooga, the "cracker line" was open to bring food, new uniforms and a combined total of nearly 40,000 reinforcements from Hooker’s corps and Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman’s XV Corps from the Army of the Tennessee. Before those reinforcements arrived, there had been 45,000 Federals in Chattanooga; Bragg had 70,000 on the high ground above them.
Bragg then reduced that 70,000 by dispatching Longstreet and his men to capture Knoxville, as Davis wished. It was a fourth of his strength. Grant learned of the move on November 5. He wanted to attack immediately, but Thomas pointed out that he had no horses to pull artillery into position, and Grant relented. Resisting suggestions from the War Department that he send Sherman to reinforce the troops at Knoxville, he began planning with Thomas to break out of Chattanooga instead, which would open the road to Atlanta, sever Longstreet’s line of supply and communication, and force him to fall back into Georgia.
Sherman arrived at Chattanooga in mid-November. Grant planned to fight his way out of the siege by having him attack the northern flank along Missionary Ridge while Joe Hooker captured Lookout Mountain, the southern flank. Thomas would distract Bragg and prevent him from reinforcing his flanks by feigning an attack on the center of the Confederate line. They would then roll up the Confederate line from north to south.
Sherman had problems from the outset, mainly due to heavy rain and the road conditions it created. He had to delay his attack on Tunnel Hill, at the northern end of Missionary Ridge, by three days, not reaching his jump-off position until late on November 23.
While Sherman was trudging toward Tunnel Hill, Grant ordered Thomas to extend his lines toward Missionary Ridge to see what Bragg would do. Thomas made a full-scale assault with all 14,000 of his troops, driving some 600 Confederate skirmishers from their rifle pits on Orchard Knob, a rocky mound about a mile from the base of Missionary Ridge. There, they entrenched and waited. Orchard Knob became headquarters for Grant and Thomas for the remainder of the battle. The next day, Sherman began his assault, only to find he was on a detached spur of Missionary Ridge, with a deep ravine between him and his objective
To the south, under cover of a heavy fog that would remain through most of the day, Hooker’s troops advanced up the slopes of Lookout Mountain unopposed until they reached Confederate emplacements around 10 a.m. Confederate major general Carter Stevenson only had about 1,200 men defending the mountain, no match for Hooker’s 12,000. Confederate artillery was not positioned well for defense against Hooker’s line of attack. Some intense fighting took place at the Cravens House, but Stevenson’s men slowly withdrew toward the crest. Reinforced that afternoon, they held till after nightfall before retreating as they had been ordered to do. Hooker waited until the next morning to capture Point Lookout, the very top of Lookout Mountain.
Because much of the battle was obscured from Union troops below by the heavy fog, it became known as the "Battle Above the Clouds" after the war. It had been an easier victory than anticipated, so much so that Hooker been overly cautious in his advance, adding to the delay and confusion of the overall battle.
Bragg reinforced his right during the night, and on November 25, Sherman’s men faced those of Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne, "Stonewall Jackson of the West." Sherman ended up on the defensive, rather than the offensive, and would be stalled at Tunnel Hill for the entirety of the battle. Six hours of fighting and 2,000 Union casualties had failed to dislodge the Rebels by afternoon.
To the south, Hooker was stymied because the retreating Confederates had burned a bridge over Chattanooga Creek. Grant, frustrated by the delays and overcomplicated implementation of a simple plan, ordered Thomas to attack the center of the Confederate line on Missionary Ridge, hoping to at last distract Bragg from Tunnel Hill so Sherman would be able to turn the Confederate line.
The 60 regiments of Thomas’ command, nearly 24,000 men, surged forward, artillery shells from 112 guns atop the ridge bursting among them. Instead of merely distracting Bragg—who had already shifted reinforcements to Tunnel Hill because the fighting was so intense—the Union soldiers took the rifle pits at the foot of the ridge and out of necessity continued advancing as the Confederate line gave way. Thorough a second line of pits and then over the crest of the ridge they swarmed. First to break through was the 24th Wisconsin Regiment; Captain Arthur MacArthur—father of the future general of World War II and the Korean War—planted the Stars and Stripes atop the ridge. Among the Confederates, a rout began that rivaled the Union skedaddle at Chickamauga, abandoning a third of their army’s artillery and 7,000 muskets.
Grant and Thomas watched in disbelief as the Union line advanced beyond their orders. Also watching in disbelief from his headquarters at the top of Missionary Ridge, Bragg was stunned as his line broke and his troops were routed. He had to make a hurried retreat of his own to Dalton, Georgia, where he was able to eventually reorganize his demoralized troops. Cleburne was left to fight a rear-guard retreat that prevented the complete destruction of the Army of Tennessee.
Grant pursued for two days before halting to send troops to aid Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside, besieged by Longstreet at Knoxville. Before the reinforcements arrived, however, the Confederate corps had battered itself against Knoxville’s defenses—which included an early use of barbed wire in warfare—and had withdrawn northward, back to Virginia. Burnside exhibited a competence of command at Knoxville that had eluded him at Antietam and Fredericksburg.
Following the Battle of Chattanooga, Bragg resigned on November 29 and Davis immediately accepted, replacing him with General Joseph E. Johnston, who would face Sherman in the Atlanta Campaign. During that campaign, Chattanooga became a vital supply hub for Sherman, who was given command of Union troops in the Western Theater when Grant was placed in command of all Union armies in the spring of 1864.
Chattanooga attorney Joe DeGaetano recently purchased a piece of Northshore history—the old International Order of Odd Fellows building at 50 Fraizer Avenue.
“I like the fact that it’s a 100-plus old building,” he said. “It’s a neat, old building. It’s got some interesting features to it.”
This handle had previously been used to dim the lights. The electrical inspector said it needed to be disconnected, so it doesn't work now, but owner of 50 Fraizer Avenue Joe DeGaetano said it's an interesting, historic feature. Contributed photo.
A large, old dimmer switch that had to be deactivated is one such feature, he said.
After he and his wife Heather purchased the building, they contracted with GenTech Construction to perform “extensive” renovation and remodeling of the top floor, which DeGaetano now uses for his office.
In addition to the DeGaetano law firm, the top floor is occupied by Sage Technology Group,
Chattanooga Counseling and Mediation Center, and two out-of-town law firms with satellite offices in Chattanooga.
DeGaetano said there aren’t as many people in the building as it might seem. He is a sole practitioner, and the other offices are made up of small staffs, he said.
There is retail, such as Bridge Salon, on the ground floor.
DeGaetano said he preferred not to discuss the cost of the building or renovations.
According to records on file in the County Register's office, the Oddfellows purchased the property on which the building sits in 1903, DeGaetano said in a news release.
David Smotherman, president Northshore Merchant’s Collective and owner of Fraizer’s Winder Binder Gallery and Bookstore, said that most of the buildings on the block of Fraizer near DeGaetano’s law firm date back to the 1920s through ‘50s.
It gives the area extra character, he said.
And there’s not much written about the history of the Northshore, he said.
“Most of the old pictures are of the downtown,” he said.
In the 1950s, the area was as vibrant or more so than it is now, Smotherman said.
Veteran Upholstering & Gifts is also in the 50 Fraizer Avenue building. Ruth L. Smith and the late Mr. James T. Smith opened the store in 1947, and Ruth still operates the store.
Smotherman and DeGaetano both said the Northshore is a great place to work.
“I wouldn’t have my shop anywhere else,” he said. “It’s such a great combo of local and tourism. The Southside has so much promise, but it’s still at the point where it’s a destination."
“If you can’t put anything fun in the article, don’t write it because no one will know it’s me,” says Chattanooga attorney Susan Elliott Rich. “And you need to improve your subject matter, you definitely need more entertaining subject matter.”

We’re sitting side-by-side, perched on padded chairs in a dimly lit conference room at Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz’s downtown Chattanooga office. Rich, a 59-year-old shareholder, is wearing an emerald-green suit and a passel of diamonds: rings, bracelets, pendant. A sparkly barrette shines in her black curls. Her jewels — and one-liners — flash in the muted light like sun rippling over a muddy pond.

CHATTER: “Why did you go to law school?”

RICH: “I was an artist, but I had to make a living, and I knew I couldn’t afford my jewelry habit.”

CHATTER: “How do you feel about your recent awards?”

RICH: “When you start getting honors like these you know you’re getting old.”

CHATTER: “Why did you stay in law for 35 years?”

RICH: “I wasn’t smart enough to do anything else. OK, I have a blast with my clients, and I love my work. But I want you to put in the article, ‘Because I’m not smart enough to do anything else.’”

Rich, of course, is smart enough to do anything she likes. She’s been on the Best Lawyers in America list since 2005. She was named Chattanooga

Banking Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers and elected to the Tennessee Bar Foundation last year. Three years ago, she was voted in as a fellow of the Chattanooga Bar Association.

Four years ago, she became a “Mid-South Super Lawyer.”

She specializes in commercial lending, banking, real estate and health care, and has mastered such intricate procedures as asset-based lending, loan rehabilitation and diverse multi-state real estate sales. Some of Chattanooga’s premier projects — Finley Stadium and the Riverfront restoration — are on her project lists. “It’s so exciting to work on projects that are community related,”

says Rich. “You really get to see what’s going on in the community.”

Lending “doesn’t sound interesting,” she admits. But the complexity of negotiating property purchases in Nevada, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and many other states tickles her intellectual interests. “It’s very challenging and generally not as adversarial as litigation,” she says. “I like business work because people don’t argue as much. They don’t get in one anothers’ faces.”

Joe Conner, Baker Donelson’s Chattanooga office managing shareholder, credits Rich with helping the firm secure a place midway up the new list of Fortune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Years ago, he says, Rich and her partners’ vision led the firm through a steady, sustainable expansion from five attorneys to nearly 30 associates and shareholders.

“Susan Rich is the reason I’m at this firm,” says Conner. “She’s an excellent person and an excellent lawyer. I’ve never met anybody like Susan Rich. She has an uncanny way of totally disarming you.”

As Rich’s lilting cadences and willowy vowels envelop me, I think of sweet tea and lilac blossoms. But she’s actually reeling off an impressive list of firsts: First female attorney hired, first woman partner, first woman managing director. “In the early years, it was challenging; being accepted was not the norm.” Then she adds, laughing: “But a lot of that was not because I was great. I just happened to be the first in line.”“If you can’t put anything fun in the article, don’t write it because no one will know it’s me,” says Chattanooga attorney Susan Elliott Rich. “And you need to improve your subject matter, you definitely need more entertaining subject matter.”
