Marshall House, Alexandria, Va. On May 24, 1861, the day after Virginia ratifies its succession, the Union army moves in to occupy the city. A contingent of eight led by Colonel Elmer Ellsworth of the 11th New York Regiment entered the Marshall House intent upon hauling down a Confederate flag hanging from the hotel. When Ellsworth succeeds, the proprietor, James Jackson, shoots and kills him. In turn, Jackson is slain by Private Francis Brownell, who wins the Medal of Honor for his action. Ellsworth is the first Union officer to fall in the war, and his friend, Abraham Lincoln, has him lie in state at the White House, where thousands pass by to honor him.
