Harry, is there a national cemetary at the park? I couldn’t find any information on the NPS site. An ancestor died of typhoid fever at Manassas in July 1862 and I’m trying to find where he may be buried.

Will – no national cemetery at Manassas. If he was buried in the Manassas vicinity, there’s a good chance he was moved to Arlington after the war, if he wasn’t recovered by friends of family.

Is Judith Henry’s tombstone really cracked? It looks broken in half. Was it vandalized?

Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section. I'll also post my thoughts on the processes behind the project and commentary on the campaign, but pretty much all things Civil War are fair game. You'll only find musings on my “real job” or my personal life when they relate to this project. My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.
