Davis book about the twilight of Americas innocence: to the last, the reader is carried through what many in the 1860s believed would be the only major conflict between North and South. So optimistic were the people in Washington that a crowd of civilians came from the city with picnic hampers to witness the crushing defeat of the upstart rebels. The following day, however, the mood would shatter in a battle that confounded the expectations of both sides-the first Battle at Bull Run.It was a training ground for some of Americas most colorful military figures: P.G.T. Beauregard, Joe Johnson, Irvin McDowell, and Stonewall Jackson. It also marked the first strategic use of railroads and was perhaps the first time the horrors of battle were photographed for the people back home. Drawing from a wealth of material-old letters, journals, memoirs, and military records-Davis brings to life a vivid and vital chapter in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCivil War | Campaigns \u0026amp; Battlefields | Bull Run | Letters \u0026amp; Correspondence\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960013521184,"sku":"NEW0807108677","price":16.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/battle-at-bull-run-a-history-of-the-first-major-campaign-of-the-civil-war-0807108677","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
