Within weeks, the Confederacy had established its capital at Richmond. On May 24, Lincoln ordered troops across the Potomac into Virginia, only a few miles from the Confederate military base near the hamlet of Manassas. A great battle was inevitable; whether this would end the war, as many expected, was the only question. On July 21, near a stream called Bull Run, the two forces fought from early morning until after dark in the first great battle of the Civil War. America would never be quite the same. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonnybrook is the first major history of Bull Run to detail the battle from its origins through its aftermath. Using copious and remarkably detailed primary source mate-rial-including the recollections of hundreds of average soldiers-David Detzer has created an epic account of a defining moment in American history. This new paperback edition includes additional maps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR ALLEGIANCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Allegiance is a splendid story of people, ordinary and extraordinary, living through extraordinary experiences. . . .
