Balls Bluff A Small Battle and Its Long Shadow
Author: Byron Farwell
On October 21, 1861, Confederate troops scored what was probably the most complete victory by either side in the Civil War at a place calle Ball's Bluff, thirty-five miles west of Washington, DC, on the Virginia bank of the Potomac River. Union soldiers were driven in a panic off the high bluff into the river, where many of them drowned.
