Tuesday afternoon, we went to the
Manassas Battlefield and walked around the area of the
First Battle of Manassas. It was hot, humid, and sunny, but we managed not to collapse. Afterward, we found a market and bought some cold drinks.
Cannon.
They were probably pretty noisy.
A memorial marker.
The stone house below was significant, but I think it was more so in the Second Battle of Manassas.
The plaques make much of
James Robinson, but nobody has put him in wikipedia,
Here is the ruin of the Robinson house with Becca standing there so you can see how tiny it must have been.
Becca leaving the ruins.
A nice open field when nobody is shooting at you.
A memorial placque.
Jackson's men came out of the forest.
There stands Jackson like a stone wall. And Mike like a damp sponge.
After I put in the first group of pictures I realized I didn't have many pictures of the cannons, so here are some confederate ones.
