"The whole field was covered with a confused mass of struggling, running, routed Yankees" - Colonel Bradley T. Johnson, CSA
Every day during the summer at Manassas National Battlefield Park, an NPS Historian leads a 1 hour interpretive tour at the site of the Deep Cut (Tour Stop 7) at 1 PM. The program examines the assault made by Union Gen. Fitz-John Porter's 6,000 troops against Stonewall Jackson's defensive line. While walking the rough terrain, visitors get a sense of the obstacles that faced the Federal soldiers as well as the desperate struggle that confronted both sides as Union and Confederate men locked into hand-to-hand combat along the Unfinished Railroad grade. After the repulse of Porter's men, Confederate Gen. Longstreet seized upon the moment to launch his massive assault that ultimately won the rebel army victory for the second time on the plains of Manassas.
