Today, July 21, 2016, is the 155th anniversary of the first major land battle of the civil war, the battle of first Manassas, or the battle of first Bull Run, depending on which side your'e on. So what better way to commemorate it than to visit the battlefield itself. Here in this now quiet and serene place, 155 years ago cannons blazed and many brave soldiers on both sides fought and died. The civil war tore the nation apart, but after the civil war, America became one and became the greatest nation on Earth as we know today.

Visit to Manassas National Battlefield Park
Historic site of the first battle of the Civil War on July 21, 1861 in Virginia.
Manassas National Battlefield Park: Site of TWO Great Civil War Battles!
In this episode we travel to Manassas, Virginia, about 30 miles east of Washington DC, to visit Manassas National Battlefield Park in Manassas, Virginia, site of not one, but TWO great battles of the Americn Civil War, both won by the Confederacy.
The first battle of Manassas, also called the first battle of Bull Run, was fought on July 21, 186. It was the first major battle of the Civil War and Union troops were confident they wold be able to defeat this ragtag bunch of rebels in a matter of hours.
Instead, Union forces were routed and sent retreating almost all the way back to Washington.
The second Battle of Manassas was fought more than a year later on August 28 to 30, 1862 and also resulted in a resounding Confederate victory!
In this video, I explore the battlefield and show you some of the sights you can see there, like the Henry hill house and the Stone house, which both served as field hospitals during the first battle of Manassas.
But there are also moments of levity as I re-create scenes from Scarface and The Walking Dead.
Driving Through Lee Highway (Rt 29) - Arlington, Virginia , USA | Residential Areas
Lee Highway (also known as Rt. 29) is one of several main thoroughfares through Arlington.
_____________________________________________________
The Lee Highway was a national auto trail in the United States, connecting New York City and San Francisco, California, via the South and Southwest. After receiving a letter on January 15, 1919, from Dr. Samuel Myrtle Johnson of Roswell, New Mexico, David Carlisle Humphreys of Lexington, Virginia, put out a call for a meeting in Roanoke, Virginia, to form a new national highway association. On December 3, 1919, five hundred men from five states met in Roanoke to officially form the Lee Highway Association. The auto trail was named after Robert E. Lee

Introduction to Arlington, Virginia.
Arlington is a county located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, on the west bank of the Potomac River directly across from Washington, D.C. Although sometimes referred to as a city, Arlington is actually a county which contains no incorporated towns or cities within its boundaries. Originally part of the 10-mile square area set aside in 1791 for the nation’s capital, the land now comprising Arlington County was returned to the Commonwealth of Virginia by the U.S. Congress in 1846 and was known at the time as Alexandria County. In 1852, the independent City of Alexandria was incorporated from a portion of the County, leading to confusion, as two adjacent municipal entities continued to share the same name (Alexandria). The confusion was resolved in 1920, when Alexandria County renamed itself Arlington County, borrowing its name from the Arlington National Cemetery, which had been established during the Civil War on the grounds of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's former home, Arlington House.
Although best known generally as the home of the Pentagon, The Iwo Jima War Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery, the County is also an important employment center. The Federal Government accounts for the lion's share of the roughly 200,000 jobs in Arlington, but high-tech companies have become increasingly prominent, as have several major associations, Fortune 500 companies, and other nationally known employers. The County’s residential population is among the most highly educated in the nation and is increasingly diverse. Arlington is the home of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and is serviced by the Orange, Blue and Yellow lines of the Washington Metro. The County is traversed by two Interstate highways, I-66 and I-395; as well as by the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
Arlington Area Attractions
The name Arlington is synonymous in many people's minds with Arlington National Cemetery, the most famous national cemetery in the United States. Veterans from all the nation's wars are buried in the cemetery, as are two former Presidents (John F. Kennedy and William Howard Taft). Also located in Arlington are the Pentagon, headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, and several notable memorials, including the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (also known as the Iwo Jima Memorial), the U.S. Air Force Memorial, and the Women in Military Service for America Memorial.
Other attractions in Arlington include the Arlington Arts Center, founded in 1976 and housed in the historic Maury School; the Arlington Historical Museum, housed in a two-story brick structure built in 1891 and currently standing as the oldest school building in Arlington County. The Ball-Sellers house, a one-room log cabin with a loft built by a farmer named John Ball in 1742, is a rare example of an ordinary person's dwelling of the 1700s. The Ellipse Arts Center is a 3,000 square foot visual arts facility which opened in 1990, and presents a diverse schedule of high quality programs in the visual arts. A wealth of other attractions abound in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including the following:
The National Mall
Ford's Theatre
The National Archives
National Air and Space Museum
International Spy Museum
Lincoln Theatre
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Chinatown
African American Civil War Memorial
Blair House
Folger Shakespeare Library
National Geographic Society
Frederick Douglass National Historic Site
National Building Museum
Visitors to Arlington can take the very short trip to the other side of the Potomac, where the city of Washington hosts several major league professional sports franchises. These include football's Redskins (NFL), baseball's Nationals (MLB), basketball's Wizards (NBA) and Mystics (WNBA), hockey's Capitals (NHL), soccer's DC United (MLS), and lacrosse's Bayhawks (MLL).

Civil War New Mexico: 150th Anniversary
NEW MEXICO'S LARGEST CIVIL WAR 150th ANNIVERSARY EVENT
On May 5-6, 2012, south of Santa Fe
The largest commemoration of the Civil War battles fought 150 years ago in New Mexico will be May 5-6, 2012, at the state's nonprofit living history museum, El Rancho de las Golondrinas (Ranch of the Swallows) south of Santa Fe.
In 1862 the Confederate dream of a nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific ended in New Mexico. The westernmost battles of the Civil War were fought in New Mexico. Most of the soldiers who defended New Mexico from the Confederates were Hispanics who spoke little or no English.
One Hispanic soldier, Manuel Antonio Chaves, helped defeat the Confederates in the pivotal battle by leading fellow Union soldiers to a lightly-guarded supply train. A legend in his own lifetime, he was known as El Leoncito, the little lion.
The May 5-6 event will honor Confederate and Union soldiers who fought in New Mexico through battle reenactments, demonstrations, first-person portrayals, interactive visitor participation, candlelight tours, an exhibit of actual battlefield artifacts, and a tribute ceremony. The event will be on 200 scenic acres among the 34 historic structures of El Rancho de las Golondrinas.
The event is a partnership among the State of New Mexico, New Mexico National Guard (whose units fought in the Civil War in New Mexico), El Rancho de las Golondrinas, New Mexico Civil War Commemorative Congress, and the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
More information is available from golondrinas.org and 505-471-2261.

Bull Run/Manassas Reenactment
Video 1 of 3
Petersburg National Battlefield Park Visitor Center
Made a visit to the Visitor Center at Petersburg National Battlefield Park. It's a really neat display of the old guns outside and interpretive and interactive exhibits inside. Lots of fighting towards the end of the Civil War happened here and there were many lives lost (70,000) in this hallowed ground.

Combat in the Civil War Small
Cedar Mountain Battlefield
The Battle of Cedar Mountain (Slaughter's Mountain or Cedar Run) took place on August 9, 1862, in Culpeper County, Virginia, as part of the American Civil War. Federal forces under Major General Nathaniel P. Banks attacked Confederate forces under Major General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson near Cedar Mountain as the Confederates marched on Culpeper Court House to forestall a Federal advance into central Virginia. After nearly being driven from the field in the early part of the battle, a Confederate counterattack broke the Federal lines resulting in a Confederate victory. The battle was the first combat of the Northern Virginia Campaign.

1961, 1st Manassas Battle Reenactment (part 1) (silent)
This film was extracted from 8mm home movies shot in 1961 at the Manassas 100th anniversary reenactment. In July 1961, Manassas National Battlefield Park hosted the first, and as it turned out, only reenactment of a Civil War battle in a National Park. The event was a logistical nightmare. There were not enough reenactors to accurately portray both armies. In addition, there were so many people, participants and observers, the Park Service was not able to provide adequate facilities. Several visitors and reenactors were injured. And, all of the modern intrusions had to be screened. Further, the reenactment was viewed as an entertaining event, rather than as a portrayal of a deadly serious battle in which thousands of men were killed or wounded.
Following this event, the Park Service decided to concentrate on using living history rather than reenactments for interpretive programs. Employees or volunteers dressed in period uniforms could demonstrate and explain the various tactics and maneuvers to visitors. Thus, a visitor could learn from living historians and gain a better understanding of what it was like to be a Civil War soldier.
To see some b&w photos of the scene including several of the park superintendent, visit my history website.
On June 20, 2013 I received the following note from a reenactor who participated in the event. (Posted with permission)
I was a participant in the reenactment at Manassas Virginia 1961 attending with the 67th Volunteer infantry, Long Island, New York. Our group was more a musket rifle team that shot competition against other rifle teams all over the country. We competed in full regalia as Confederate and Union forces and keeping true with the primitive methods of load and fire. With few reproduction firearms available at that time we used original Civil War era muskets. My rifle was an 1861 Springfield and all my leather goods were original federal issue, including original lambs wool and nipple pick in an original cap box. We had wool uniforms belted in and did we ever sweat that July.
A comment, not on your site but elsewhere was made that attempts at realism was pathetic in 1961 compared to present day dress of more enlightened reenactors of today, is unfair reportage. Media reportage on the 1961 event was not favorable either but who cares what reporters think anyhow. On Henry Hill we lined up and volley fired muskets and the roar and smoke from black powder rifle and cannon surely sounded and smelled no different to our fore-fathers a century before. I wanted to experience as much as I could of what they experienced. The few moments I had before contemplating my next move before the Confederates charge across the field, I wiped my face across my mouth on my sleeve. I could feel and taste the grime about my cheeks and mouth from residue black powder left behind after tearing open paper cartridges. And, my finger tips on my left hand holding the rifle stock and touching the barrel at the same time, was singed brown.

Bentonville Battlefield Civil War Tour Part 2
Bentonville Battleground, also known as Bentonville Battleground State Historic Site, was the location in North Carolina of the Battle of Bentonville in the waning days of the American Civil War.
The battleground area may include the Harper House, itself listed on the National Register.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
Visitors to the Bentonville Battlefield may also tour the restored Harper House, which has been furnished as a Civil War field hospital, and includes a reconstructed kitchen and slave quarters. Exhibits at the park's visitor center focus on the battle, and include interactive maps, artifacts and displays about soldiers and commanders from both armies. There is also a 10-minute audiovisual program about the battle. Outdoor exhibits in the park include the Federal XX Corps reserve trenches, the Harper family cemetery, a Confederate mass grave, several monuments and a field fortification exhibit
The Battle of Bentonville was fought March 19--21, 1865, in Bentonville, North Carolina, near the current town of Four Oaks, as part of the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the last major battle to occur between the armies of Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
On the first day of the battle, the Confederate army attacked one Union wing and was able to rout two divisions, but was unable to drive the rest of the wing off the field. The next day, the other Federal wing arrived and for the next two days, the armies skirmished with each other before Johnston retreated. In light of overwhelming enemy strength and the relatively heavy casualties his army suffered in the battle, Johnston surrendered to Sherman little more than a month later at Bennett Place, near Durham Station. Coupled with Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender earlier in April, Johnston's surrender represented the effective end of the war
Following his March to the Sea, Major General William T. Sherman, commanding the Military Division of the Mississippi, turned his army northward through the Carolinas. The Union general in chief, Lieutenant General U. S. Grant, had planned to bring Sherman's troops north to Virginia in order to help with the defeat of the Army of Northern Virginia but Sherman successfully argued that it would take too long to transport his troops and that he could cut Confederate supply lines to Petersburg and damage Confederate morale by marching through North and South Carolina. During the late winter and early spring of 1865, Sherman's Union army cut a swath of destruction through South Carolina. On March 8, Union soldiers crossed into North Carolina as a collection of Confederate units attempted to concentrate and block their path. Sherman divided his command into two parts, a Left Wing (the Army of Georgia) commanded by Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum and a Right Wing (the Army of the Tennessee) commanded by Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard. The two wings marched separately toward Goldsboro beginning on March 13, with no one in the Union command expecting major resistance from Johnston.
On February 23, Confederate general-in-chief Robert E. Lee ordered Johnston to take command of the Army of Tennessee and other Confederate units in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, and to concentrate all available forces and drive back Sherman. Johnston managed to concentrate in North Carolina the Army of Tennessee commanded by Lt. Gen. Alexander P. Stewart, Maj. Gen. Robert Hoke's division from the Army of Northern Virginia, troops from the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida commanded by Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee, and cavalry under the command of Lt. Gen. Wade Hampton, calling the united force the Army of the South. Confederate maps erroneously showed that the two Union wings were twelve miles (19 km) apart, which meant each would take a day to reach the other. Johnston planned to concentrate his entire army on Slocum's wing to defeat it and to destroy its trains before it reunited with the rest of the Union column. The Confederate attack commenced on March 19, as Slocum's men marched on the Goldsboro Road, one mile (1.6 km) south of Bentonville.
Slocum was convinced he faced only enemy cavalry and artillery, not an entire army. In addition, Sherman did not believe that Johnston would fight with the Neuse River to his rear. Therefore, Slocum initially notified Sherman that he was facing only cursory resistance near Bentonville and did not require aid. Believing he faced only .... It looked like a picture and at our distance was truly beautiful ... But it was a painful sight to see how close their battle flags were together, regiments being scarcely larger than companies and a division not much larger than a regiment should be.
