The Destruction of the Union Supply Trains at Manassas Junction, Virginia, by Jackson and Stuart’s Cavalry C.S.A., August 28, 1862.

Not on Display

The detailed watercolor, shown here, depicts the destruction of union supply trains at Manassas Junction, Virginia by Confederate Major General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, and his troops. The supply train full of clothing, tents, ammunition, and vast amounts of food was to be sent to Union Major General John A. Pope. The Confederate soldiers consumed part of the food and carried away as much as they could. Then before leaving, they burned the railroad locomotives and cars, and heated and twisted the railroad ties into knots, so they couldn’t be used anymore.
