At 2 p. m. on November 23, the lines of blue moved forward, driving the
Confederate outposts and their supports back to the base of Missionary
Ridge, and captured Orchard Knob, a low hill a little more than a mile
in front of the ridge. The Union forces occupied the captured
entrenchments and erected a battery on Orchard Knob. Except for
occasional artillery firing, the fighting ended for the day.
