Transcription: In 1861, at the time of President Abraham Lincoln's inauguration and the outbreak of the Civil War, the dome was still unfinished. Federal troops crossed the Potomac at Washington to meet Confederate forces in Virginia. Bayonets flashed in the moonlight. Townspeople drove out from the Capitol to view the spectacle of battle. Some brought picnic lunches. only about 25 miles to Manassas, near a stream named Bull Run.
