The account
Site of the first major land battle of the war (1861) and a major Confederate victory (1862).
Leads, where the trail points now
- The field is at Prince William County, VA, and arms, shot, and relics still come out of the ground there.
- Detecting or digging needs landowner or park permission, and any significant find should be recorded; many battlefields are protected.
- Work the documented account of Bull Run / Manassas to learn where the fighting, the camps, and the rout actually ran before you look.
