Subject
Matter: The tour follows the
approximate route Maj. Gen. T.J. “Stonewall’ Jackson’s
Wing of the Army of Northern Virginia took on their
historic 44-mile march from the Rappahannock River to
Bristow Station. The two-day flank march around the
right flank of Maj. Gen. John Pope's Army of Virginia
cut the army’s supply and communications line with
Washington and led to the Battle of 2nd Manassas. Our tour will highlight

the 2nd Manassas Campaign, including some that
many BRCWRT members are not familiar with.
