Book Description
200 b/w photos & 8 x 10 & Previously unpublished photos of soldiers, with rank, unit, and battlefield experience & Introduction and conclusion with battle summary and details & The second in Rank and File's Faces of Battle series Look into the eyes of the men who fought in the first large-scale battle of the Civil War, the bloody encounter in Northern Virginia that shocked the nation. For the North, news of the Confederate rout of Gen. Irvin McDowell's Union forces extinguished any hopes of a quick, bloodless war. For the South, the victory sparked delirious optimism about Confederate military superiority. Between June and July 1861, the South had concentrated its well-trained forces on the southern banks of Bull Run near Manassas Junction, Virginia. On July 16, McDowell's army moved toward Manassas from Alexandria and Washington D.C. with the ultimate goal of capturing the Southern capital of Richmond. When the two forces collided on June 21, a daylong battle ended with the Union army in full retreat.
