on our nation's soil, the Civil War, bringing to life the tragic struggle that
divided not only a nation, but also friends and family. well-organized,

A Little Short of Boats: The Civil War Battles of Ball's Bluff and Edwards
Ferry, October 21 - 22, 1861
The Northern troops were on largely open ground, poorly organized, and with
their backs to the wide river when the Southern infantry attacked. The twelve
fitful hours of fighting that followed ended in one of the worst defeats
(proportionally speaking) either side would suffer during the entire Civil War
Balls Bluff: A Small Battle and Its Long Shadow
Confederate troops scored what was probably the most complete victory by either
side in the Civil War at a place called Ball's Bluff, thirty-five miles west of
Washington, DC, on the Virginia bank of the Potomac River. Union soldiers were
driven in a panic off the high bluff into the river, where many of them drowned
A Girl's Life in Virginia Before the War
First published in 1895. An engrossing eyewitness account of antebellum
plantation life as it really was Kindle Available

The Maps of First Bull Run: An Atlas of the First Bull Run (Manassas) Campaign,
including the Battle of Ball's Bluff, June-October 1861
The Maps of First Bull Run breaks down the entire operation (and related
actions) into numerous map sets or "action-sections" enriched with more than
fifty full-color original full-page maps. These cartographic originals bore down
to the regimental and battery level and include the march to and from the
battlefield and virtually every significant event in between.
Battle at Bull Run: A History of the First Major Campaign of the Civil War
The battle, was unique in the Civil War in that no general on either side had
ever exercised high command in combat. July 21, 1861 would demonstrate that
careers devoted to theoretical studies of warfare provided poor indicators of
success in combat.
A Single Grand Victory
The First Campaign and Battle of Manassas
Nearly 900 men lost their lives and 2,700 were wounded. Confederate General
Thomas J. Jackson earned his legendary nickname "Stonewall" here. Both North and
South believed that a single victory at Manassas would decide the Civil War
before it barely started

Civil War Battlefield Guide
Virginia was host to nearly 1/3rd of all Civil War engagements. This guide
covers them all like a mini-history of the war. This guide organizes battles
chronologically. Each campaign has a detailed overview, followed by concise
descriptions of the individual engagements
"We Shall Meet Again": The First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run), July 18-21, 1861
The First Battle of Manassas claimed the lives of approximately 878 soldiers and
wounded another 2,489. With a battlefield stretching nearly five miles, 15,000
Union and 14,000 Confederate soldiers clashed for four fateful days, many of
them young and terrified and receiving their first taste of a long and bitter
war Kindle Available

The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom
The Civil War Era
Published in 1988 to universal acclaim, this single-volume treatment of the
Civil War quickly became recognized as the new standard in its field. James M.
McPherson, who won the Pulitzer Prize for this book, impressively combines a
brisk writing style with an admirable thoroughness. He covers the military
aspects of the war in all of the necessary detail, and also provides a helpful
framework describing the complex economic, political, and social forces behind
the conflict. Perhaps more than any other book, this one belongs on the
bookshelf of every Civil War buff. Kindle Available

The Civil War a Narrative
This beautifully written trilogy of books on the American Civil War is not only
a piece of first-rate history, but also a marvelous work of literature. Shelby
Foote brings a skilled novelist's narrative power to this great epic. Many know
Foote for his prominent role as a commentator on Ken Burns's PBS series about
the Civil War. These three books, however, are his legacy. His southern
sympathies are apparent: the first volume opens by introducing Confederate
President Jefferson Davis, rather than Abraham Lincoln. But they hardly get in
the way of the great story Foote tells. This hefty three volume set should be on
the bookshelf of any Civil War buff.
Return to Bull Run: The Campaign and Battle of Second Manassas
Expertly researched and well written. This was one of the most interesting
campaigns in the eastern theater. High drama prevailed from the very start.
Jackson's performance is well documented
"We Shall Meet Again": The First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run), July 18-21, 1861
The First Battle of Manassas claimed the lives of approximately 878 soldiers and
wounded another 2,489. With a battlefield stretching nearly five miles, 15,000
Union and 14,000 Confederate soldiers clashed for four fateful days, many of

war




Civil War Video Games
Robert E. Lee: Civil War General
The game comes with two types of battles to choose from, 45 historical battles
and more than 100 alternative ones. The alternative ones are usually smaller
versions of the historical ones. Of great interest is the way the game handles
campaigns. Not only does it string together varying numbers of individual
scenarios but puts the emphasis on how well or poorly your army performs during
battle
Antietam: Battleground 5
PC Game focuses on individual areas of the battle, including the pre-battle
South Mountain delaying action, or you can fight the whole Antietam scrap
between McClellan and Lee on September 17th 1862

Bayou and Greenville, Grant elects to bypass the Confederate fortress city of
Vicksburg


State of Virginia Flag History

The Virginia State seal depicts the Roman goddess Virtus representing the spirit
of the Commonwealth. She is dressed as an Amazon, a sheathed sword in one hand,
and a spear in the other, and one foot on the form of Tyranny, who is pictured
with a broken chain in his left hand, a scourge in his right, and his fallen
crown nearby, implying struggle that has ended in complete victory. Virginia's
motto, Sic Semper Tyrannis (Latin for "Thus Always to Tyrants"), appears at the
bottom. Buy this Virginia State Flag
In 1861, the Virginia State Convention passed an ordinance establishing a design
virtually identical to that in current use. This flag has a deep blue field with
a circular white center. The obverse of the great seal of the Commonwealth has
been identically painted or embroidered on each side of the flag. A white silk
fringe adorns the edge farthest from the flag staff.

Bonnie Blue Flag

Bonnie Blue
The Confederate government did not adopt this flag but the people did and the
lone star flags were adopted in some form in five of the southern States that
adopted new flags in 1861. Southern Cross Flag

Used as a navy jack at sea from 1863 onward. This flag has become the generally
recognized symbol of the South.
Second Confederate Flag

On May 1st,1863, a second design was adopted, placing the Battle Flag (also
known as the "Southern Cross") as the canton on a white field. This flag was
easily mistaken for a white flag of surrender especially when the air was calm
and the flag hung limply.

VIRGINIA REGIMENTAL FLAG

This flag was carried by an unknown Virginia regiment. On April 8, 1865, Major
Thomas Ward of General Armstrong Custer's calvary division captured it near
Namozine Church. Major Ward was General Custer's brother-in-law.
