Civil War Then & Now
Today on "Step Into History" we visit Sudley Springs Ford, where the Union Army crossed right before and after the First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run). In the months following the battle, the Thornberry family are captured in numerous famous photographs with soldiers in the distance.
Garry Adelman of the 91茄子 is joined by National Park Ranger Anthony Trusso to "step in" to several of the Civil War era photos at Manassas.
