Despite my great interest and study of 1st Bull Run I’ve never had the oppotunity to visit, and what a great time it would be to do so for the 150th Anniversary, especially to trace the (not so glorious) footprint of the 1st. Conn Regt. on the ground. I actually work for the National Park Service and have always wondered how to get myself transferred for a week or so. Maybe they need a paleontological inventory?

Have a great program and please post details!

I’m glad I was able to work Jim Lane and Kansas at First Bull Run into the program!

My wife, Jacque, and I chose your tour at CWI to Manassas. Thanks. We enjoyed your approach and the information you shared. At the Conference this year, a fellow attendee looked at my name tag which read “Topeka, Kansas”. He asked what in the world would anybody from Kansas want to learn anything about the Civil War. My answer was – not much, except that it was in Kansas that the Civil War really started, in 1856, which the eastern press simply called “Bleeding Kansas”. Yes, we have an interest in the Civil War. It is also alleged that the third largest cavalry battle in the Civil War took place in Kansas – the Battle of Mine Creek. Look it up. Great tour Harry.
