Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultural Resource Survey and Inventory of a War-Torn Landscape: The Stuart's Hill Tract, Manassas National Battlefield Park, Virginia Throughout the project, an emphasis was placed on discovering evidence of African American material culture in an effort to contribute to the discipline's current interest in recovering evidence of african-american lifeways. Manassas National Battlefield Park can contribute significantly to such studies as several sites dating from the late eighteenth through late twentieth-century are preserved within the park boundaries. Here, an entire community of ante and post-bellum life exists, including sites which cross-cut social status, economic stratification, and ethnicity. Free black tenant farmers, landowners, and enslaved laborers exist within the context of their community, alongside the physical remains of white tenant farmers, landowners, and laborers. 'while these people shared a community, their experiences here were certainly diverse. A future study of the entire community represented at this National Park could provide an invaluable resource revealing the social trends, growth, and reactions of a community throughout the years of industrialization, war, and economic development.
