Fiftieth Anniversary of the Bull Run Civil War Battles
The summer ushers in semi centenaries of Civil War battles led by Bull Run Manassas. The piece notes commemorations, monuments, and hopes to create a Bull Run national park with improved access, a Manassas to Washington boulevard, and renewed study of the battlefield’s strategic lessons. It recounts two battles, key figures, and the potential for public ceremonies and preservation.
