I-66 Corridor Improvements Tier 2 Environmental Assessment Fairfax and Prince William Counties, Virginia SURVEY OF CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELDS FOR THE I-66 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS TIER 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FAIRFAX AND PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTIES, VIRGINIA VDOT Project No. 0066-96A-297; UPC 105500 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Prepared by Stephanie A.T. Jacobe, Ph.D. and Kerry S. González Dovetail Cultural Resource Group April 2015 On behalf of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and VDOT’s consultant, Parsons Transportation Group, Inc. (Parsons), Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail), conducted an assessment of the Civil War battlefields identified within the proposed Interstate 66 (I- 66) study corridor in Prince William and Fairfax Counties, Virginia. The project involves improving I-66 from its interchange with U.S. Route 15 in Prince William County to Interstate 495 (I-495) in Fairfax County (Figure 1). VDOT, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is preparing a Tier 2 Environmental Assessment in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. VDOT and FHWA completed a Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) in November 2013 for the I-66 corridor from U.S. Route 15 to I-495. FHWA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) on November 20, 2013 concurrently with publication of the Tier 1 FEIS. VDOT, in consultation with FHWA, has determined to move forward with Tier 2 studies for widening existing I-66 to result in two express lanes and three general purpose lanes in each direction from U.S. Route 15 to I-495, a total distance of approximately 25 miles (40.2 km). The project is an undertaking subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (36 CFR 800). This management summary presents the findings of the Civil War battlefield assessment. Results of the Dovetail archaeological and architectural surveys on this project are detailed in separate management summaries. The purpose of the survey was to identify, within the Area of Potential Effects (APE), the boundaries of all Civil War battlefields and locate any previously undocumented battlefield features. The APE for direct and indirect effects is defined as being 500 feet (152.4 m) on either side of the VDOT right-of-way (ROW). 1 Figure 1: Overview of the Project Area (USDA 2001). 2 In January 2013, as part of the Tier 1 EIS, Dovetail completed an Architectural Assessment for the I-66 and VRE Extension Study Corridors, which comprised a similar study area in Prince William and Fairfax Counties (Dovetail 2013). Four battlefields, Chantilly (029-0162), First Manassas (076-5335), Second Manassas/Brawner’s Farm (076-5190), and Manassas Station Operations (076-5036) were located within the 500-foot (152.4-m) direct study buffer that was defined in that report. The report also identified the Manassas Battlefield Historic District and Expansion, which is listed on the National Register Historic Places (NRHP). The Manassas Battlefield Historic District encompasses much of the federally-owned land included within the American Battlefield Protection Program’s designated Study Areas of the battles of First Manassas and Second Manassas/Brawner’s Farm, as well as portions of privately-owned land located adjacent to the federally-owned land. Project Methodology The 2002 Civil War Battlefield Preservation Act directed the Secretary of the Interior through the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) to update the 1992 Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on the Nation’s Civil War Battlefields (CWSAC). The update was required to address preservation activities at each battlefield since 1993 as well as changes in conditions and other relevant developments. As part of the update, the ABPP created a four- tiered system that included such factors as historic significance, current condition, and level of threat to determine preservation priorities among the battlefields. Draft reports for the updates are being released state-by-state on an ongoing basis. The report for Virginia’s 122 battlefields was released in July 2009 (ABPP 2009). The battlefield Study Areas described in the July 2009 report were used to re-assess which battlefields were located within the project APE. In addition changes that have been made to individual Study Areas since their release in 2009 including those made to the Study Area of the First Battle of Manassas in 2014 have also been taken into account. Since the release of the CWSAC report in 1993, the National Park Service (NPS) has enhanced its battlefield survey techniques to include research, working with site stewards, identifying and documenting lines of approach and withdrawal used by opposing forces, and applying the concepts of military terrain analysis to all battlefield landscapes (ABPP 2009). Each battlefield in the APE was assessed based on the Potential National Register (PotNR) boundaries as defined by the ABPP in their 2009 report. Only those areas of the ABPP-defined battlefields that have PotNR boundaries that fall within or partially fall within the project APE were assessed as part of the current survey. It is important to note that there was a large Civil War encampment at Centreville near State Route 28 that stretched west to the Fairfax-Prince William County border but because it is not an ABPP-defined battlefield, it and its remaining features will be assessed in the archaeology report for this project. Sections of the Study Areas of each identified battlefield located within the APE were visually inspected through a vehicular and pedestrian reconnaissance survey. Pedestrian reconnaissance survey was undertaken in PotNR areas to identify previously unrecorded battlefield features. Once identified, each potential resource was evaluated for its historic and physical integrity. The resources were documented through digital photographs, mapped using GPS, and keyed to project mapping. 3 In addition to the vehicular and pedestrian reconnaissance survey, a metal detector survey was performed as part of the archaeological survey for the project to aid in the potential identification of Civil War deposits. The archaeological survey examined selected portions of the project area. Previously surveyed areas were not resurveyed unless the previous survey did not meet the current DHR standards. In addition a metal detector survey was performed in all areas within ABPP-defined battlefield Study Areas that did not previously include metal detecting. These areas are defined as numbered survey areas on detailed figures accompanying this Management Summary. Metal detecting was conducted along transects spaced at 25-foot (7.6-meter) intervals across the entire archaeological APE. The archaeological APE is defined as being 100 feet (30.48 m) beyond the existing VDOT ROW. All testable areas within battlefield study areas except those that fall within federally-owned land of the Manassas National Battlefield Park were subjected to a thorough examination. Metal detecting was performed using Whites 9500 pro/psi and Tesoro Cibola metal detectors and was conducted in a zig-zag pattern along transects to ensure maximum coverage. Positive contacts were identified with pin flags. The locations of the pin flags were excavated to determine if the contact was positive for historic ferrous and/or non- ferrous metal artifacts. The location of historic artifacts discovered during the metal detecting were mapped and collected. Fieldwork was conducted in November and December 2014 by Stephanie A.T. Jacobe, Adriana Lesiuk, and Katy Wolford. Metal detecting was conducted by Kerry S. González, D. Brad Hatch, and Kevin McCloskey. Kerri S. Barile and Mike Carmody served as Principal Investigators. Drs. Barile and Jacobe meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for history and architectural history; Dr. Barile, Kerry S. González, D. Brad Hatch, and Mike Carmody meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology [48 Federal Register 44739 (September 29, 1983)]. Background Research With the refining of the APE for the Tier 2 Environmental Assessment for the I-66 Improvements Project, the Study Areas of six battlefields were identified within the APE. The Study Area of a battlefield includes the furthest extent of the historical footprint of the battle. The Study Area indicates the extent to which the historic and archaeological resources associated with the battle may be found and protected. The Study Areas were delineated regardless of the present integrity of the landscape. The six battlefields identified are listed below in Table 1 and summarized briefly in the following sections. The PotNR boundary of a battlefield, as defined by the ABPP, is that portion of the Study Area that retains sufficient integrity and cohesion to convey the significance of the engagement. It does not constitute a formal determination of eligibility by the Keeper of the National Register. This boundary takes into account the guidelines established in the NPS National Register Bulletin, How to Apply National Register Criteria (Andrus 1997). 4 Table 1: Battlefields Located Within the APE.

He sent two of his divisions against those of Union Major Generals Stevens and Kearny. The fierce battle was stopped by a massive thunderstorm, which allowed the Union to continue to retreat east. Generals Kearny and Stevens were killed in the fight. The Federals retreated beyond Fairfax Courthouse leaving Lee to invade Maryland.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA). As expected, most of the Harvard alumni who died in the service of the Union were born and raised in the Northeastern states (e.g. 74% from Massachusetts). However, 9 Harvard alumni Union casualties were from the Mid West including one from the border state of Missouri. None of these Harvard men were from southern states.

  • The Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia the Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia Was the Most Divisive and Destructive Period in the County’S History
    (ANNE putting in section headings only 9/3) Confidential Draft August 31, 2020 rvsd 9/7/20 The Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia The Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia was the most divisive and destructive period in the county’s history. Soon after President Abraham Lincoln was elected President on November 6, 1860. local citizens began holding a series of public meetings at the courthouse to discuss whether Virginia should remain in the Union or secede and join the nascent Confederate States of America. Remain or Secede? Resolutions were adopted to expel pro-Union, anti-slavery men from the county. Several resolutions passed defending slavery. Other resolutions supported arming and funding local militia. The Fairfax Cavalry, under Captain M. D. Ball, and the Fairfax Rifles, under Captain William H. Dulany, drilled and paraded together on the courthouse yard throughout early 1861. Within ten days of Virginia’s vote to secede on May 23, 1861, the first armed conflict occurred in Fairfax County on June 1, in and around the same courthouse grounds where those public debates on secession began. Captain John Quincy Marr of the Warrenton Rifles was killed in the skirmish with Company B, Second U.S. Cavalry. He has been memorialized as the first Confederate officer to die in the Civil War. South Controls Western Half of County Through March 1862 In July, roughly 18,000 soldiers of the Army of Northeastern Virginia under the command of Union General Irvin McDowell advanced through the county. The Federals marched to the Battle of Blackburn’s Ford (July 18) and subsequently the Battle of First Manassas or Bull Run (July 21).

The aim is to introduce family and friends to the historic houses, churches, plantations, battle hills, trenches and hideouts that were instrumental in shaping the character of the United States, given Centreville’s strategic role during the American Civil War. The American Civil War was Centreville’s most dramatic period, when Centreville was occupied by both the Union Army and the Confederate Army, and when the battles of the First and Second Manassas were fought on its doorstep. Relics from early English settlers and Civil War are still present in Centerville. Come and explore with me the links to the past under the soil of Centreville! Challenge of preserving Centreville’s historic sites: Preserving Centreville’s historical sites poses the challenge of finding the right balance between the need to preserve history and the development responsibility needed to make room for new residents who want to make Centerville their home and send their kids to this community’s schools. Preservation needs to be accomplished in the context of compatibility with urban development and safety of the historical structures. The enthusiasm to embrace development and technology has put great pressure on the historic sites of Centreville.
