--A short version of the battle--

This is a brief, but good historic account of the Battle of Bull Run. There are simple illustrations in the book and Zachary Kent, the author mentions all of the main Confederate and Union officers who participated in the battle. He also explains how General Jackson received the nickname of Stonewall. I thought that the quotes from various soldiers were quite interesting. Those quotes reflected the personal thoughts and feelings that some of the men had experienced during the fighting.
