Download or read book Battle at Bull Run written by William C. Davis and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two great, untested armies were readying for the first—and what many believed would be the last—major conflict between North and South. On the eve of July 21, 1861, one Northerner wrote: “The sky is perfectly clear, the moon is full and bright, and the air was still as if it were not within a few hours to be disturbed by the roar of cannon and the shouts of contending men.” 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.” It was, says William C. Davis, “the twilight of America’s innocence,” and the following day the mood would shatter in a battle that confounded the expectations of both sides—the first Battle at Bull Run. William C. Davis has written a compelling and complete account of this landmark conflict. The Battle at Bull Run (or Manassas) is notable for many reasons. It was a surprise victory for the Confederacy, a humiliating defeat for the Union, and the first ominous indication that a long and bloody war was inevitable. It marked the first strategic use of railroads in history, and the first time the horrors of the battle were photographed for the folks back home. It was also a training ground for some of America’s most colorful military figures: P.G.T. Beauregard, Joe Johnston, Irvin McDowell and “Stonewall” Jackson. 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.

Download or read book The Grand Design written by Donald Stoker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the abundance of books on the Civil War, not one has focused exclusively on what was in fact the determining factor in the outcome of the conflict: differences in Union and Southern strategy. In The Grand Design, Donald Stoker provides for the first time a comprehensive and often surprising account of strategy as it evolved between Fort Sumter and Appomattox. Reminding us that strategy is different from tactics (battlefield deployments) and operations (campaigns conducted in pursuit of a strategy), Stoker examines how Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis identified their political goals and worked with their generals to craft the military means to achieve them--or how they often failed to do so. Stoker shows that Davis, despite a West Point education and experience as Secretary of War, ultimately failed as a strategist by losing control of the political side of the war. Lincoln, in contrast, evolved a clear strategic vision, but he failed for years to make his generals implement it. And while Robert E. Lee was unerring in his ability to determine the Union's strategic heart--its center of gravity--he proved mistaken in his assessment of how to destroy it. Historians have often argued that the North's advantages in population and industry ensured certain victory. In The Grand Design, Stoker reasserts the centrality of the overarching plan on each side, arguing convincingly that it was strategy that determined the result of America's great national conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the remarkable history of the First Battle of Bull Run... When Union and Confederate forces met at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, each side was confident of victory. The Northern and Southern Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis each hoped for a triumph that would bring a swift and decisive end to the Civil War that split the United States into two warring nations. Union General Irvin McDowell was the first of a succession of commanders who failed to deliver victories for the North. The South could boast of the military brilliance of General Thomas Jackson, who earned the nickname "Stonewall" for his exploits at Bull Run, but in truth, both sides exposed their limitations in the battle. To the North's dismay, the chaotic retreat of the fleeing Union Army proved that an easy conclusion to the conflict was unlikely. For the South, the failure to pursue the fleeing Yankee troops robbed the Confederacy of the opportunity to force the Northern government to accept Southern independence. For both, the battle presaged a long and bloody war, with casualties far beyond what had ever been endured in American history.
