Prelude to Second Manassas: The Stonewall Brigade at Brawner's Farm

Cost: $5.50 for Online Event Access

Speaker: Bill Backus

In August of 1862, after a series of maneuvers from Richmond to Culpeper, the Army of Northern Virginia sought to destroy the new Army of Virginia under John Pope. Within 24 hours, a series of battles set the stage for the bloody three-day battle on the plains of Manassas. On August 28, Northern and Southern soldiers returned to Manassas. Late on that same evening, the Stonewall Brigade clashed with a Federal brigade consisting of stout Midwesterners. The clash lives on in the lore of the American Civil War.

Join author and historian Bill Backus as he examines the story of Brawner's Farm and when stone met iron.
