Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of the Battles of Bull Run and Manassas Junction, July 18th and 21st, 1861: Accounts of the Advance of Both Armies, the Battles, and the Defeat and Rout of the Enemy As it adds very much to the interest and the true understanding of a description of a battle to have a correct comprehension of the battle-ground and surrounding localities, to aid the reader in sketching an approximate map of the scene of operations at Manassas Junction, we supply the following data: A line drawn in a North and South direction, and to represent a distance of eight miles, will answer for the road from Centreville to Manassas Junction. Centreville is to be marked down at the Northern end, and Manassas Junction or Camp Pickens at the Southern. The road itself has about the usual meanders. A line drawn East and West through Centreville, will represent the turnpike road leading from Alexandria on the East, to Warrenton on the West. On this road, and six miles East of Centreville, is Fairfax Court House. On the West of Centreville, and about four miles distant, the turnpike road crosses Bull Run, on what is known as the Stone Bridge. If a line be drawn through Manassas Junction in a direction nearly East, but North of it, it will represent the railroad as it leads to Alexandria, which is distant twenty-seven miles. At a point about four miles from Manassas Junction, the railroad crosses Bull Run on a high bridge. The above points being marked down, if a meandering line be now drawn from the Stone Bridge on the turnpike, to the railroad bridge above described, it will show the position of Bull Run.

Download or read book South Reports the Civil War written by J. Cutlery Andrews and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the newspaper profession the problems confronted in reporting the Civil War were as catalytic as the war itself was for American society. Many of the problems encountered in reporting later wars were present in the Civil War, but they were new problems then: communications, transportation, Federal confiscation of printing presses, censorship, military personalities, and, after mid-1863, how to tell a proud people that it was losing the war. Professor Andrews, author of The North Reports the Civil War (1955), now turns his attention to the South. He shows that Southern war reporting at its best was comparable in quality to that of the leading Northern war correspondents, that the reporting of news by the Southern press was an essential ingredient not simply of journalism but also of the Confederate propaganda effort, and that the South's newsmen contributed to the revolution of a profession, an industry, and a form of human communication.
