The first major battle of Manassas, also known as Bull Run, was pivotal in the Civil War, resulting in over 800 fatalities and 2,700 injuries. It was here that Confederate General Thomas J. Jackson earned his iconic nickname "Stonewall," as General Barnard Bee famously remarked on his steadfastness.
