Opis: A Comprehensive Sketch of the Battle of Manassas, or Second Battle of Bull Run - Author Unknown

Excerpt from A Comprehensive Sketch of the Battle of Manassas, or Second Battle of Bull Run: Giving a Brief Account of One of the Most Important Engagements of the Late Civil War; Illustrated

The calvary corps, under the famous J. E. B. Stewart, consisted of the brigades of Fitz Hugh Lee and Beverly H. Robertson. Of these, and of the division and brigade commanders, many of them were also ex-officers of the old regular army of the United States, who, in taking up arms against their country, were the antagonists of their old friends, classmates, and comrades, in a cause they believed to be right. Their names - many of them - are as familiar to us all, as are those of the Union Army, and held as dearly in Southern remembrance as are those of the Union roster. There was Evans and Hood and Law and Stevens; there was Wilcox (Cadmus) with Pryor and Feathcrston; Kemper and Corse, Jenkins and Hutton; Jones (D. R.), Anderson (G. T.), Benning, and Drayton; R. H. Anderson, Mahone, Wright, and Armistead. All these of Longstreet's corps. Of "Stonewall" Jackson's command there was Ewell, Lawton, Jubal Early, Ferno, Trimble, Hill (A. P.), Branch, Gregg, Field, Pender, Archer, Thomas, Starke, Baylor, Johnson (Bradley T.), Taliaferro, Stafford, and many other well known officers. Like the men of the Union Army, the rank and file of the
Confederate forces were drawn from the best material of the South. Their terrible earnestness made up in a large measure for many deficiencies in clothing, camp equipage and commissariat; their courage and endurance are known of all men.

In order to a clear understanding of the Battle of Manassas, it seems desirable to explain briefly the military situation immediately preceding this culmination of a short and - to the Union Arms - disastrous campaign.
