The Oaks Classical Christian Academy student Ian Burgess, 18, portraying Union Army Gen. Ambrose Burnside, and other generals and soldiers gather Friday for an overhead drone picture during the school’s re-enactment of the Civil War in a field east of Chase Middle School in Spokane. Burgess and 157 other students in grades 6-12 staged the 1861 Battle of Bull Run. In that battle, Union troops numbering 35,000 engaged the Confederate army, totaling 20,000, near Manassas, Virginia. It was a Confederate victory that sent the Union army retreating toward Washington. (Dan Pelle / The Spokesman-Review)
