"Stonewall Jackson's Heroic Stand: The First Battle of Bull Run" In the scorching summer of 1861, history was forged on the blood-soaked fields of Bull Run. As Confederate and Union forces clashed in a brutal struggle for dominance, one name would rise to prominence - Stonewall Jackson. With his unwavering determination and strategic brilliance, General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson became an indomitable force during this pivotal battle. Depicted in Henry Alexander Ogden's lithograph from 1900, we witness the iconic image of Jackson leading his troops with unwavering resolve. The wood engraving from a contemporary Northern newspaper captures the grim reality faced by both sides. Rebel bayonets pierce wounded Union soldiers, illustrating the brutality that defined this clash between brothers. As we explore the aftermath of battle through Barnard & Gibson's lens at Mathews House and Mrs. Henrys House, it becomes evident that war leaves scars not only on individuals but also on landscapes. Ruins stand as haunting reminders of lives forever altered by conflict. The significance of this engagement is further highlighted by George N. Barnard's photographs capturing various scenes from Bull Run. From Lewis House to RR Bridge ruins, these images immortalize the destruction wrought upon Virginia during those fateful days, and is impossible to overlook the impact that such battles had on society at large. The Whig and Observer Extra broadside announcing the First Battle of Manassas serves as a chilling reminder that news traveled slowly but surely during those turbulent times. The first Battle of Bull Run marked a turning point in American history – it shattered illusions about quick victories and revealed just how deeply divided our nation truly was. It set into motion four long years filled with sacrifice and suffering known as the US Civil War. Today, let us remember those who fought valiantly at Bull Run – their bravery etched forever in the annals of history.
