Joseph Hooker (1814–1879) had resigned his command of the Army of the Potomac just three days before the Battle of Gettysburg but returned to combat in November of 1863 to assist the besieged Union army with the Chattanooga Campaign. Notably, he led nearly three divisions to victory at the Battle of Lookout Mountain on November 24. Given this success, Hooker's forces advanced to Missionary Ridge the next day, where the Confederate blockade was finally broken.
