August 28-30, 1862 - Second Battle of Bull Run
August 28-30, 1862 Second Battle of Bull Run / Second Manassas / Brawner's Farm Prince William and Fairfax County, Virginia Union's John Pope vs. Confederate's Robert E. Lee * Lee hooks-up with Longstreet for a big attack before McClellan gets back from the Peninsula Campaign * Jackson does his sweeping right-flank around the Union army thing; luring them out of defensive positions *Pretty bad Union defeat, but not as bad as the first time! * Pope gets fired; Lee marches North And now, here are some of the sites of the Second Bull Run trail...in reverse, so we start with the stone house, again. I didn't make it to the Brawner Farm, where the fighting took place on the first day, but I'll be back! Update, Fall of 2025 I made it back - saw the Brawner Farm super-early and added a few additional markers. The fighting started there, and so will we- though I am not committing to strict chronology here. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=58797 The Battle Begins Second Battle ...
