Description
On 7-12-1861 the first Battle of Bull Run (Manassas) surged around this house and over 5,000 were killed. Mrs. Henry, 85 and bedridden, refused to leave. A Union cannon shell meant for the Confederate snipers who were using the house, killed Mrs. Henry. After the battle, sightseers of the battle tore the house down for souvenirs. It was later burned to the ground in the Second Battle of Bull Run. It was rebuilt in 1870.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS!
