The most sustained and costly combat on the Manassas Battlefield swirled on this little hill, named for the family, whose matriarch became the first civilian casualty of the Civil War. Join Garry Adelman for additional battle details including how Stonewall Jackson got his name, and discovering previously unknown photo locations on the battlefield.
This video is part of our Battlefield Tour Series commemorating the 160th Anniversary of First Manassas. You can view the full playlist here: • The Armies Arrive at T...
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

I moved to Manassas in 1965 and I remember the Robinson House in a dilapidated state. The yard and lands were closed at that time to keep people off of the unsafe porch on the house. It was gone by about 1970. In the late 70s, there was a stable on the Fairfax County or north bank side of Bull Run that rented horses by the hour to trail ride in the NBP. It was just over the hill from where the Robinson House had been located.

This is great work done by the battlefield trust and national park to preserve history, I was impressed by how vivid and preserved this battlefield is still today and how many information are there for all to read and study. I had the pleasure to walk the battlefield and understand the details of the events so vividly that is rare. Coming from Italy, I visited many other battlefields in Europe, Napoleonic, WW1, WW2, but the job done here is outstanding. I have donated for the preservation of the site and the protection of the remaining acres for this important piece of history and I encourage everyone to do the same. I have been at Gettysburg as well but Manassas with its relatively small size it makes it for a vivid picture and deserve to be visited

Loved this. Visited the battlefield with the family the very week that this video was filmed. Garry correctly dismisses the revisionist fallacy that Bee was speaking negatively about Jackson when he made his famous "Stonewall" statement. Anyone that has read about the battle easily understands that Bee's brigade was already shattered and streaming to the rear before Jackson's troops even arrived on Henry Hill. The disgruntled Bee storyline was nonsense from the beginning, and easily recognized as such.

Some of the most intense infantry fighting of the battle, including hand to hand combat, occurred on the Federal right flank on Henry Hill -- where the Visitor's Center and parking lot is now. I wish the park had the funding to relocate the VC like at Gettysburg, but that won't happen. Also, the final action at Second Manassas occurred where the parking lot is today.
