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).

  • 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.
