Last week I was on the East Coast of the US and for two nights I stayed in Manassas, which is about 25 miles southwest of Washington DC. I visited the Manassas Battlefield. It was bloody cold! The wind was blustery and the snow had frozen so it was hard sometimes to stay on one's feet.
Anyway, Manassas was the site of two (U.S.) Civil War battles: First Manassas and Second Manassas, also known as the the First Battle of Bull Run and the Second Battle of Bull Run. Both battles were fought over the same ground.
The years of the battles were 1861 and 1862. The South won both battles.
It was at Manassas that General Stonewall Jackson acquired his nickname.
