The Destruction of the Union Supply Trains at Manassas Junction by Jackson and Stuart's Cavalry, CSA, August 28, 1862
Private Robert Knox Sneeden recorded the destruction of the Union supply trains at Manassas Junction two days before the Second Battle of Bull Run in July 1862. After the Civil War, Sneeden published a memoir and colored many other sketches. This is the only known Sneeden watercolor outside the collection at the Virginia Historical Society. Mr. Small acquired it at auction after it caught his eye on the popular show Antiques Roadshow. |
