Description

The most sustained and costly combat on the Manassas Battlefield swirled on this little hill, named for the family, whose matriarch became the first civilian casualty of the Civil War. Join Garry Adelman for battle details including how Stonewall Jackson got his name, and discovering previously unknown photo locations on the battlefield.

Garry also visits Chinn Ridge, where the Union's last chance at victory in the first major land battle of the Civil War quickly turned into a retreat back through Sudley Springs Ford as the Confederate forces swept through the Ridge.
