This weekend marks the anniversary of the First Battle of Bull Run, aka the First Battle of Manassas. The occasion was marked by the National Park Service with a re-enacted Civil War camp on the battlefield. Alas, the weather did not cooperate—it is raining today and is supposed to rain for the next several days. So only the most dedicated re-enactors (and visitors) showed up.

Some photos.
