Second Battle of Manassas
On the Henry Hill, Pope's rear
guard, in the late afternoon of
August 30, 1862, repulsed the at-
tacks of Longstreet coming from
the West. If the hill had been
taken, Pope's army would have
been doomed; but the Unionists
held it while the rest of their
troops retreated across Bull
Run on the way to Centreville.
