A 7 the battle of Lookout Mountain
IN a New York regiment was in the
4 a front ranks and contributed
tly in determining the issue. The
work of the 215th New York in this
famous engagement is by no means as
familiar as 1t should be. James
Schmidling. who fought in this regi-
ment. now the commander of J. L.
Riker Post, and who incidentally
fought in seventeen pitched battles, in
recalling the fight above the clouds,
said:
Our regiment was early on the
scene. and this promptness had an
important effect on the fortunes of the
day. The battle. it will be remem-
bered, was fought above the clouds.
Now in fighting, the position OF the
troops at the Beginning often decides
the battle in advance. Since this bat
tie was fought practically on a noun
tain top, on very high ground, thu
troops holding an elevated position
naturally had an immense advantage.
Our regiment held an important van
cage point, but wewere ahead of the
main army and faced a force vastly
superior in numbers. 1t was ques-
tion of hours before our reinforce
ments could come up. / think every
man realized what depended upon us.
We lost heavily. but we held our
ground until the main army arrived,
and the position we had maintained
at such sacrifice proved to be OF the
utmost Importance"
