Synopsis

A firsthand letter explains a pivotal Civil War battle and its wider meaning This nonfiction work presents a personal account of the Battle of Bull Run, written as a letter to a friend in England. It frames the event with the author’s goal to defend the battle and to illuminate the political context of the time.

The book blends narrative with analysis, offering insight into how the battle was viewed by an active officer.
