Manassas is the first book in Reasoner's ten-volume series spanning the Civil War and describing its effects on one Southern family.
Storm clouds are approaching Culpeper County, Virginia, in early January 1861. The troublesome Fogarty brothers have been raising havoc across the countryside, and when the local lawman, Will Brannon, returns from another futile try to track them down, he finds the townspeople abuzz. South Carolina has seceded from the Union, and rumor has it more states will observe, perhaps even Virginia. Will enlists, but so, too, do the Fogartys. All know that men die in battle and that these deaths should never be investigated.
As the Brannon brothers answer the decision to arms, the family finds itself fighting dilemmas it never really had considered.
