Virginia's Civil War |
Local Civil War Sites:
Ball's Bluff Battlefield off Route 15 bypass near Leesburg - A tiny National Cemetery and a 173-acre regional park represent the small but significant battle fought here Oct. 21, 1861. Federal troops tried to cross to the south side of the Potomac River here but were overwhelmed. Pushed off the bluffs, the Union soldiers made easy targets for Southern guns as they tried to re-cross the river. Bodies floated downstream to Washington. Lincoln's good friend Edward Baker was killed in the battle. Ten interpretive signs on a two-mile walking trail describe the fighting.
