People living in the area helped the wounded Rebels. This
stone church is right by Bull Run and has been fully
restored.

This brave, cunning Rebel soldier, was
once known as Gen. Thomas Jonathan Jackson. How he got the
name we know him by is from the phrase, "There stands
Jackson like a Stonewall, rallying behind the
Virginians."

shots. Also, it was used as a hospital during the first and
second battles of Bull Run. These battles were also called
