"The River of Blood". Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot, "The Rapids" on the Potomac River. The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as ‘The River of Blood.’

"Like many of Mr. Trump’s claims, the inscription was evidently not fact-checked.“No. Uh-uh. No way. Nothing like that ever happened there,” said Richard Gillespie, the executive director of the Mosby Heritage Area Association, a historical preservation and education group devoted to an 1,800-square-mile section of the Northern Virginia Piedmont, including the Lowes Island site.“The only thing that was remotely close to that,” Mr. Gillespie said, was 11 miles up the river at the Battle of Ball’s Bluff in 1861, a rout of Union forces in which several hundred were killed. “The River of Blood?” he added. “Nope, not there.”."
