Manassas Battlefield

First battle of the Civil War.  In fact, two battles took place here.  Citizens of Manassas woke up one morning a found federal and confederates on there farms getting ready to do battle. Can you imagine cannons going off in your front yard or at your back door?  It’s always amazing to see how much ground the battles occupy.
