  • 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).

  • Sudha Rajput Travels to Historic Centreville Virginia
    Travel with me to Historic CENTREVILLE, VA: my hometown Sudha G. Rajput February 14, 2020 (rev: March 3, 2020*) *Incorporates review by Debbie Robison of Virginia Room, Fairfax county February 27, 2020 Sudha Rajput, February 2020 Page 1 of 13 My goal of this write-up is to preserve and cherish the heritage of this historic town of Centreville, located in the western corner of Fairfax county, within Virginia, where I have lived for 28 years. 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.

  • Clemente's Overzealous Romp
    marti'n espada Clemente’s Overzealous Romp Roberto Clemente and Baseball as Theater n july 25th, 1956, Roberto Clemente did a terrible, wonder- Oful thing. In his sophomore year with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Clemente came to bat with the bases loaded, nobody out, and his team trailing the Chicago Cubs 8-5 in the bottom of the ninth at Forbes Field. He faced pitcher Jim Brosnan. As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports: Brosnan made one pitch, high and inside. Clemente drove it against the light standard in left field. Jim King had backed up to make the catch but it was over his head. The ball bounced off the slanted side of the fencing and rolled along the cinder path to center field. Here came Hank Foiles, Bill Virdon and then Dick Cole, heading home and making it easily. Then came Clemente into third. Bobby Bragan had his hands up- stretched to hold up his outfielder. The relay was coming in from Solly Drake. But around third came Clemente and down the home path. He made it just in front of the relay from Ernie Banks. He slid, missed the plate, then reached back to rest his hand on the rubber with the ninth run in a 9-8 victory as the crowd of 12,431 went goofy with excitement. Yet, according to Bruce Markusen in his biography, Roberto Clemente: The Great One, what happened that day was “an incident” that “under- scored his naivete on the basepaths”: Clemente both heard and saw Bragan’s stop sign, but deliberately ran through it.

    Conflict and Courage in Fairfax County Sites and Stories of the Civil War Battle of Ox Hill (Chantilly) September 1, 1862 www.fairfaxcivilwar.org At the Center of the Conflict From the Occoquan River below Washington, DC to the upper Potomac to the north, Fairfax County laid in the path of all Federal armies advancing into Northeastern Virginia. Some of the earliest engagements of the Civil War took place in Fairfax County. When John Quincy Marr died in a skirmish at Fairfax Court House on June 1, 1861, he became the first Confederate officer killed in the war. A couple of miles away and just four days earlier, Peyton Anderson was the first Confederate soldier to shed his blood for the Confederacy when he was wounded near today’s Lee Highway and Blake Lane. Three days before the Battle of First Manassas/Bull Run, over 35,000 Union troops marched through Fairfax County on their way to the first bloody battle of the war. The first heavy fighting occurred at Blackburn’s Ford, on the western edge of the county. John Q.
