The Battle of Dranesville: Early War in Northern Virginia, December 1861, is the first comprehensive history of this pivotal yet often overlooked conflict. While popular accounts often portray a calm Potomac River during this period, the reality was far more intense. The fall and early winter of 1861 witnessed a flurry of activity that culminated in the December combat at Dranesville. Although the Union victory was relatively small compared to the defeats suffered earlier, it played a crucial role in shaping the bloody years that followed. Ryan Quints' meticulously researched book brings to life this forgotten tale, drawing upon overlooked sources to transport readers from the White House and Secession Hall in Charleston to midnight ambushes and the climactic Dranesville action. The book features a host of characters and commands that would become household names, including Generals Jeb Stuart and Edward Ord, and the Pennsylvania Reserves, whose baptism of fire at Dranesville set the Keystone State soldiers on a path to becoming one of the best combat units of the entire war. Despite being overshadowed by larger and bloodier battles, Dranesville remained a defining moment for many of its participants, soldiers and civilians alike, for the rest of their lives.
