Munson's Hill
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“Skirmishing between the pickets of the two armies near Munson’s Hill- the hill in the distance. Munson’s Hill is about five miles from the Chain Bridge, on the northern side of the Leesburg Turnpike, about one mile from Bailey’s Crossroads, where our pickets were stationed, and about three miles this side of Falls Church, which was in full possession of the enemy. In this neighborhood they had strong pickets, which frequently came into collision with those sent out upon the Federal side from Ball’s Roads.” — Frank Leslie, 1896
