MONTEAGLE TENNESSEE SUNSET ROCK Lookout Mountain High Point CIVIL WAR HISTORY DB

Description: Lookout Mountain is a ridge located at the northwest corner of the state of Georgia the northeast corner of Alabama, and along the southeastern Tennessee state line. The name appears on maps as early as Mathew Carey’s 1795 “Map of The Tennassee (Tennessee) Government”. The summit, called “High Point”, is located just east of Thompsonville in Walker County Georgia, with an elevation of 2,392 feet above sea level. Located on the northwest side of Lookout Mountain, Sunset Rock is a popular trailhead. It is part of the “Chickamauga and Chattanooga Military State Park”, the largest and oldest Civil War national park. Once known as “Point Lookout”, Sunset Rock provides a view of the Tennessee River, Signal Mountain, and Prentice Cooper State Forest. The 100-foot cliff and moderate temperatures invite heavy traffic for its many climbing routes. It is mainly sandstone. The card was published by “Crownover and Co., Monteagle” with credit given to “The Albertype Co., Brooklyn”. It captures the “Sunset Rock”. It is not postmarked but I think it is a DB, 1907-1915 and is in good condition with minor wear on the corners and edges. There is some fading of color across the top, which could be a printing artifact but the image is clear. The card is dirty in general and there is some surface damage right side reverse. Please see the scan.The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible. Corrections appreciated. If this your card, it will be mailed promptly upon receipt of payment......
