The battle of Dranesville, Va.
The first Federal victory South of the Potomac in the war between the States-fought before Christmas 1861, between five regiments of Federals and four regiments of Confederate Infantry. By William S. Hammond, Lexington, Va.
Dranesville, a small Virginia hamlet, is situated in Fairfax county, about twenty miles from Washington, and about fourteen from Leesburg.
On a commanding hill at the eastern edge of the village the Leesburg and Washington and the Leesburg and Alexandria Turnpikes form a junction.
The confluent roads form a single highway from this point to Leesburg.
From the point of junction this road dips into a small valley and crosses a smaller hill, on which stands the village church in a grove of massive oaks.
The view westward from the church towards Leesburg commands a rolling, open country of farm and woodland.
The turnpike, crossing this tract, may be plainly seen until lost in a piece of woodland in the distance.
