Manassas Junction After Its Evacuation by the Confederate Army -- Abandoned Fortifications, Camp, Wagons, and Burned Railroad Depots
Edwin Forbes, ca 1862
Four Union soldiers overlook an abandoned Confederate camp at Manassas Junction, Virginia. Despite two decisive Confederate victories during the First and Second Battles of Bull Run, Manassas Junction was in Union hands for most of the war. At this time it was a strategically located railroad crossing, with rails leading to Richmond, and Washington DC. |
