Visiting the Manassas battlefields

October 27, 2013 By Eric Douglas

The civil war was a truly terrible time in American history. A young nation nearly tore itself apart, brother fighting against brother and father against son. We should never forget those who died on both sides and the sacrifices made to keep this country whole.
