Correct. The Union called it 'Bull Run.' The Confederates called it 'Manassas'. Two battles known to historians as 'First Manassas' and 'Second Manassas' or 'First Bull Run' and 'Second Bull Run.' Thomas Jonathan Jackson made his debut there in the first battle and earned his sobriquet 'Stonewall'. Thank you for your comment, Neodymium.

Fun quiz! I got all but one, Gaines Mill. Also, George McClellan’s name is usually spelled differently. Nice work!

Thank you for the compliments and pointing out the error. When I saw how you spelled 'McClellan' I thought "Hey? I spelt it like that." Then I saw the mistakes. I don't know where those 'd's came from. Honest.

Also, now that I have finally worked out how to master installing type-ins, I should maybe add them for a couple of battles. I can only see two. What about you?

Thank you again and keep them presidents coming at us. Ol' Hickory! Haha!
