Opening Manassas: The Iron Brigade, Stonewall Jackson and the Battle on Brawner's Farm by Bill Backus

In the fading light of August 28, 1862, an untested Union brigade of Wisconsin and Indiana men fought an unexpected 90-minute stand-up clash with the Confederate veterans of Stonewall Jackson on the Virginia farm fields of John Brawner. Surprisingly, little has been said about this remarkable engagement. Join historian and author Bill Backus as he shares insight from the first full-length balanced study of this action. This lecture is a FREE program jointly sponsored by the Prince William County Office of Historic Preservation and Historic Prince William.
