___ "I suppose you appreciate the condition of affairs here, sir! It's another Bull Run, sir! It's another Bull Run!" Union General Phil Kearney, August 30, 1862.

The Battle of Second Manassas is one little noted in the massive historiography of Civil War literature. In spite of being the seventh most deadly battle of the war, this fight near the the seminal battlefield of First Bull Run is virtually unknown in popular histories of the war.  No Hollywood movies have been made about it, no Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to a history of the battle. Indeed, less than ten full length books have been dedicated to the battle that John J. Hennessy claims "as close to destroying a Union army as any ever would."
It is in the spirit of remembrance to the soldiers of both sides who fought on those three terrible days, August 28-30 1862, that this site is dedicated - Neal West, MNBP volunteer, 2004-
