The Second Battle of Manassas (or the Second Battle of Bull Run as the Union called it) was fought near the town on 28-30 August 1862. At that time, Manassas Junction was little more than a railroad crossing, but a strategic one, with rails leading to Richmond, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and the Shenandoah Valley. Despite these two Confederate victories, Manassas Junction was in Union hands for most of the war.
Rico says that, hopefully, his friend Doug Coe will want to make another journey to see his brother in Manassas.
