Manassas Battlefield Memorial Moves Toward Formation
The Manassas battlefield fundraising and memorial plan advances as a trustee corporation forms to honor Confederate soldiers from both sides. A $10 000 cash payment is approved with a $5 000 purchase deposit and a June 16 1927 deadline. A 130 acre site on the Lee highway near Washington is to be a Confederate memorial park. The plan calls for cooperation from southern states and federal monuments. A banquet is planned during the 1924 Confederate reunion in Memphis with Virginia’s governor to preside as toastmaster.
