The First Battle of Bull Run, or Manassas., on July 21, 1861, about twenty-five miles west of Washington DC. (The Union named Battles after the nearest body of water and the Confederates called the same Battles after the nearest town. A "Run" is a large creek in Virginia.) There was another large battle over this same ground in 1862. Both were Confederate victories.
