Sun, 1 July 2007 In this podcast we're out on the road again, visiting Manassas Battlefield National Historical Park, the site of two important U.S. Civil War Battles.
We arrive just as a young volunteer is leading a group, so we head out with Zack Ford to visit the Henry House, and a couple of memorials. We let Zack tell us about the Civil War Uniform issue. (2:45) We visit the Stonewall Jackson Memorial, and Zack talks about how Jackson got his name. (11:15) We play How may the Red Rose Live Alway by Stephen Foster, and performed at the Library of Congress in a Concert for Brass Band, Voice and Piano, from their Civil War Era Band Music Collection. This music is in the public domain. (13:55) We continue to Chin Ridge and complete the short walking tour of the First Battle of Manassas. We let Zack get one quick additional word in. (19:04) After the walking tour we head into the Visitors' Center, where we check out the museum, the bookstore, and the film. We warn families with children that the film can be quite graphic. (22:46) We play The Battle Hymn of the Republic, performed by the U.S. Air Force Band (29:23) We finish up by taking the driving tour of the Second Battle of Manassas. (34:43) Our Theme Music is, appropriately, Garden Walk by Kim Evans. Incidental music during the walk is from find me by H. You can email us at feedback@washingtontravelcast.com.
