Battling for Manassas - The Fifty-Year Preservation Struggle at Manassas National Battlefield Park

About the author

Joan M. Zenzen, who has a doctoral degree in American Studies, is a historian living in Maryland.

Summary

This is the story of how one site has garnered national attention and taught Americans valuable lessons about the future of historic preservation. It demonstrates that, with only 58 of 384 sites currently under Park Service jurisdiction, what has happened at Manassas might well occur on other historic grounds threatened by development or neglect.
