Four brigades of infantry, Gen. James Longstreet's fist Cops, emerging from the declivity to the north, made a bayonet charge upon the Federal Fort Sanders at this point, at dawn, Nov. 29, 1863. They were stopped with heavy casualties by a deep ditch and by raking cannon fire. This climaxed Longstreet's siege of Knoxville. Video by Talid Magdy/Knoxnews.com
