He served as Chief Historian of the National Park Service from 1981 to 1994. After his retirement in 1995, he received the title Chief Historian Emeritus, which he holds to this day. Union soldiers built the Henry Hill Monument to commemorate those who died at First Bull Run (Manassas). For many civil war veterans, this had been their first battle. Intense memories drew both Union and Confederate soldiers back to this scene years after the war. 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 9 Page 11 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 1911 Peace Jubilee Manassas just marked the sesquicentennial of the first Bull Run a few weeks ago. At the same time, it also commemorated the centennial anniversary of the 1911 National Jubilee of Peace. It’s that event that is the inspiration of our souvenir medal for this National Encampment. Fifty years after the first major battle of the Civil War, a thousand US and CS veterans came together for a week-long reunion that took place July 16-22, 1911. A plaque at the Manassas Court hours says the following of the event: In Commemoration of the Manassas National Jubilee Of Peace —— The first instance in history where survivors of a great battle met fifty years after and exchanged friendly greetings here on July 21, 1911, the closing scene was enacted, The Tableau of the Re-United States. The president, the Governor of Virginia and forty-eight maidens in white took part with 1000 veterans of the Blue and the Gray and 10,000 citizens of Peace Jubilee Marker in Manassas 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 10 Page 12 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 11 Page 13 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 12 Page 14 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 13 Page 15 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 14 Page 16 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 2011 National Encampment, Reston, Virginia Page | 15 Page 17 of 433 ALLIED ORDERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC Greetings, Memorials, Advertisements, and Announcements Printed with permission 1 2011 National Encampment, Reston,
