Dedication of the Monument on the battle-field of Bull Run, Virginia, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Dedication of the Monument on the battle-field of Bull Run, Virginia, 1865. 'Two battles - that of July 21, 1861, and that of Aug. 29, 1862 - were fought between the Confederates and Federals in the plain traversed by the small river called Bull Run...A monument has I now been erected on each of the battle-fields. These monuments are of chocolate-coloured sandstone, thirty feet high...The monument on the first Bull Run field is situated on the hill in front of the memorable stone house, on the spot where the 14th Brooklyn, 1st Michigan, and 1st and 2nd Maine were most hotly engaged, and where Ricketts and Griffin lost their batteries. The shaft...bears upon its top a hundred-pound shell. On the pedestal, at each comer, is a shell of similar size...Our Illustration represents the scene at the consecration, or "dedication" as it is called in America, of these monuments. The religious exercises were conducted...by the Rev. Dr. M'Murdy, who read an appropriate service, which was followed by a hymn written for the occasion by Pierpont; a military parade by the 5th Pennsylvania heavy artillery, Colonel Gallup; and a salute by the 16th Massachusetts battery...A large party of visitors had come from Washington to be present on this occasion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
**Dedication of the Monument at Bull Run, Virginia**
In a solemn ceremony, a monument was dedicated to commemorate two pivotal battles fought on this very battlefield: First Manassas (July 21, 1861) and Second Manassas (August 29, 1862). The chocolate-coloured sandstone structure stands thirty feet tall, topped with a massive hundred-pound shell. On the pedestal, four shells of similar size sit at each corner.
The dedication ceremony took place on [date], attended by a large party of visitors from Washington and conducted by Rev. Dr. M'Curdy. The service was followed by Pierpont's specially written hymn for the occasion, as well as a military parade led by Colonel Gallup and his 5th Pennsylvania heavy artillery company.
The ceremony culminated in a salute fired by the 16th Massachusetts battery, marking this momentous event on American soil. This photograph captures the scene of reverence and remembrance at Bull Run, Virginia - a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during America's Civil War.
