Civil War Battle Synopsis: In Manassas by James Reasoner (book 1 of the series), the Brannon family owns a farm in Culpeper County, Virgnia. While they do not own slaves, they are strong supporters of the South in the pre-war days. As tensions begin to rise between the North and South, the Brannons have to deal with a family of troublemakers – the Fogartys. As county sheriff, Will Brannon kills one of the Fogartys in the process of trying to arrest him for murder. This causes the family feud to heat up even more, as the Fogartys want to avenge his death. When news of the battle of Fort Sumter hits, Will heads off with a local militia. He’s quickly sent off to Manassas in order to defend the junction. When the two armies engage in the area, Will must defend himself from the Union soldiers and the Fogartys, who are looking to settle the score.
